Wolfgang Smith
“It is difficult, almost impossible, in fact, for the scientific community to recognize the fact that Cartesian bifurcation is a philosophic postulate, for which there is absolutely no scientific basis [...] It is not that they can conceive or imagine a scientific proof of that hypothesis; it is rather that they are unable to conceive that it might not be true.”
Wolfgang Smith

Maximus the Confessor
“Whatever is moved has a beginning of its motion. And no motion is without beginning, since it is not without a cause. For its beginning is the mover, and its cause is the end that calls it and attracts it, and toward which it is also moved. But if the mover is the beginning of every motion of everything that is moved, and if the cause toward which whatever is moved is carried along is the end-for nothing moves without a cause-then no being is unmoved, except the Prime Mover-for the Prime Mover is absolutely unmoved, since it is without beginning-from which it follows, that no beings are without a beginning, since none of them is unmoved.”
Maximus the Confessor, Ambigua

Maximus the Confessor
“from death as a condemnation of sin and, like Christ, the captain of our salvation (Heb 2:10), turned death from a weapon to destroy human nature into a weapon to destroy sin. For if sin maintains death as a weapon to destroy human nature in those who, with Adam, keep sin active, how much more will human nature boast death as a weapon to destroy sin in those who realize righteousness through faith in Christ!13”
St. Maximus the Confessor, On the Cosmic Mystery of Jesus Christ

Maximus the Confessor
“we believe that a logos of angels preceded their creation, a logos preceded the creation of each of the beings and powers that fill the upper world, a logos preceded the creation of human beings, a logos preceded everything that receives its becoming from God, and so on. It is not necessary to mention them all. The Logos whose excellence is incomparable, ineffable and inconceivable in himself is exalted beyond all creation and even beyond the idea of difference and distinction.”
St. Maximus the Confessor, On the Cosmic Mystery of Jesus Christ

Wolfgang Smith
“Yes, it is indeed by way of the mathematical forms that the physicist gains knowledge of the external world; Eddington's point, however, is that the forms in question have been artificially imposed: "The mathematics is not there until we put it there." And it is for this reason, and in this sense, that our knowledge of mathematical structures—our knowledge of the physical world!—is said to be subjective.”
Wolfgang Smith, Ancient Wisdom and Modern Misconceptions: A Critique of Contemporary Scientism
