What does reason play in Orthodox methodology? Is there such a thing as an Orthodox Scholasticism, or an Orthodox correspondence or substitute for Scholasticism outside mystics?

I've read that around the time of hesychast controversy, scholasticism was popular in many places in the East, among philosophers and such. After that controversy ended and St. Gregory Palamas had defeated Barlaam the Calabrian, I don't think scholasticism was too popular anymore in those quarters. At least the Church combatted it. This may be wrong, but according to what I remember from a particular book, the philosophers interested in reviving Greek pagan philosophy also often embraced scholasticism. I am only an inquirier into Orthodoxy, so I may be terribly wrong here. Keep that in mind. |

For something contemporary and relevant, I would highly recommend: Being as Communion by Metropolitan John Zizioulas http://www.amazon.com/Being-Communion-Personhood-Contemporary-Theologians/dp/0881410292 |

We cannot legislate morality by passing laws controlling firearms. The only evil we can combat lies within our hearts. We need stronger laws to protect the moral foundation of society against the evil of gay marriage. |

The first thing that popped my mind after reading the headline was that now somebody is going to write that reason is a Western innovation and/or heresy. And I here I find it in the first post. |

Take a look at this article:
Aristotle Papanikolaou, "Reasonable Faith and a Trinitarian Logic," in Restoring Faith in Reason.

Very interesting. Sounds very much like the concept of being proposed by Norris Clarke in his Person and Being. |
