Abstract

This paper is an attempt of characteristics concerning theological phenomena called Hesychast Controversy. The presentation includes analysis of history of hesychasm and important facts from Gregory Palamas biography. The main source for research on that field is work of Palamas entitled Triads. Many of the orthodox theologians state that Triads appears as the most important work of orthodox spirituality. In my opinion the problem of fourteenth-century hesychasm and controversy around this spiritual movement, as an interesting field of research, is worth exploring.
