DESCRIPTION:Project Presentation by Dmitry Biriukov\n\nPhysical paradigms 
 in the Christological controversies in Byzantium\n\nThis report aims to in
 vestigate how in the religious polemic between the Byzantine authors\, sid
 ing with the Chalcedonian creed and the Monophysites\, the representatives
  of the competing parties willing to establish and clarify their Christolo
 gical views used opposing physical paradigms of mixing physical bodies. Su
 ch paradigms are: (a) the Stoic teaching of the total blending of physical
  bodies\, widely used by the Chalcedonians for the purposes of supporting 
 their views on Christology\; (b) a teaching about the mixing of bodies\, w
 hich was typical for Aristotelian and Platonic authors\, who decisively cr
 iticized the Stoic pattern of total blending. The latter was adopted by th
 e Monophysite authors when they argued in favor of their Christological do
 ctrine and polemized with Chalcedonian Christology. In studying this probl
 em\, I ask whether the Chalcedonian or Monophysite Christologies imply a c
 ertain physical view of the world\, and would it be possible that such a v
 iew of the world is at least one of the reasons why Medieval Christian thi
 nkers settled with one or another Christological doctrine?
