	Basil of Caesarea
		Eager to learn, he went to Constantinople and spent four or five years there and at Athens, where he had Gregory Nazianzus for a fellow student and became friends with the future emperor Julian.
		Both men were deeply influenced by Origen, and compiled the well known anthology of his writings, known as Philocalia[?].
		It was at Athens that he seriously began to think of religion, and resolved to seek out the most famous hermit[?] saints in Syria and Arabia, in order to learn from them how to attain enthusiastic piety and how to keep his body under submission by maceration and other ascetic devices.

		This hope, however, in the case of the last was admitted apparently by few; and Baronius expresses his surprise that any doubt of his condemnation could be raised after the sentence of Anastasius.
		For the suggestion that a translation of the Philocalia might be found useful I am indebted to the present Bishop of Gloucester (Dr. Gibson), who in making the suggestion did not, of course, in the least guarantee the fitness of the translator for the work.
		While I have availed myself of any printed matter I could find, and most gratefully acknowledge my obligations, I have refrained almost entirely from consulting my friends, not from any vii feeling of sufficiency, but from a dread that I might make them partakers in my literary sins.

		Perhaps because "Adamantius" ("Man of Steel") was also a sort of honorific nickname given to Origen by his admirers, the dialogue was assumed by its readers to be Origen's work, and this contributed greatly to its popularity.
		Basil the Great and Gregory of Nyssa included it in their Philocalia, a collection of what they believed to be valuable material culled from the works of Origen [not to be confused with the modern Philokalia], and other patristic writers shared the same opinion.
		Modern scholarship, however, considers the dialogue to be by another, slightly later, author, and points out that neither the theological concerns nor the style bear any discernably close resemblance to Origen's.

		For God’s vision does not occur through rational comprehension and Gnostic ways, but empirically, through the experience that stems out from abiding in keeping the commandments and the exercise of virtues.
		It is remarkable that the writings of the fourteenth century fathers, like St Gregory Palamas and many others, form the quarter volume of the Philocalia.
		These fathers have underlined, because of the controversy between Orthodoxy and Scholasticism and Rationalism in the west, that the method and the tool of approaching God is not the mind and philosophy but purification of the heart and ascetic life.

		Indeed the hesychast texts has been written for the monks and they are applied best in conditions of retreat and solitude of the monasteries.
		Athos, that collected the writing of the Philocalia, will say that the Prayer of the heart pertains to everybody, to the monks as well as to the lay people; this is why there are not two systems of Orthodox spirituality.
		One of the fundamental ideas of the Hesychasm is that the spiritual life, under monastic or liturgic form, is not arbitrary, but needs a 'spiritual father.'

		The Philocalia of Origen was a collection of passages from Origen's works (~230 AD) compiled by Gregory Nazianzus and Basil the Great (4th century AD).
		I am interested here in looking at the section in the Philocalia on Free Will.
		In the 2nd century AD the gnostic heretics had (among other things) denied human free will and insisted that people were born with certain natures (“spiritual” or “fleshly”) which meant that they were inevitably predestined to either salvation or damnation.

		There is no evidence that these two witnesses are related; therefore, we have two independent sources suggesting that these quotes accurately reflect Origen's original words.
		As Henri Crouzel notes, Rufinus' translation suffers primarily from omissions, often arising from a desire to abridge or avoid repetition: "Comparisons of the texts in the Philocalia [containing about 1/7 of the Greek text of First Principles] with Rufinus' work yields on the whole a favorable result" (Crouzel, pp.
		Any discrepancies between Rufinus' Latin and Origen's Greek would, then, seem to be in the area of omissions rather than interpolations, and the extent to which Rufinus altered the text has, perhaps, been exaggerated by some.

		Here for a while he was an hermit, and here he persuaded his friend Gregory Nazianzen to join him.
		They studied together the works of Origen, and published a selection of extracts from his Commentaries, which they called "Philocalia." By the suggestions of a friend Basil enlarged his idea, and converted his hermit's seclusion into a monastery, which eventually became the centre of many others which sprung up in that district.
		His inclination for the monastic life had been greatly influenced by his acquaintance with the Egyptian monks, who had impressed him with the value of their system as an aid to a life of religious devotion.
