Akindine, Gregory (Prilep, OK 1300 – OK 1348) – Medieval Theologian and philosopher. He was educated in Thessaloniki, where he acquired a solid education from ancient philosophy and literature. He met St. Gregory Palamas and expressed his desire to introduce him to the monastic spiritual practice. In 1332 In Thessaloniki he met Varlam, the main opponent of St. Gregory Palamas. Up to 1341. He was a mediator between them. Backed by Patriarch John Kalekas, Akin-Din Suddened by criticism of Varlaham’s Tract. “Against Mesaliani”. The civil war began open and sharp criticism of the hesychastic method for which Palamas was committed. The church council in 1352 (smoothly) was anathemisan. He is the author of several texts. In “anti erethics” attacks the basic idea of the monks hesychasts. Akindin advocates the thesis that God can call man only through symbols, and among God’s essence, God’s energy does not have a difference. Lit.: V.
