Abstract
Una larga tradición hermenéutica ha señalado, de una u otra manera, el influjo de la medicina antigua en los escritos de Evagrio Póntico. Pero el interés de nuestro estudio no se limita únicamente a exponer las fuentes que parecen haber nutrido la comprensión evagriana de la enfermedad del alma sino que busca, además, esclarecer el elemento original desde el cual el Monje del Ponto incorporaría el modelo teleológico de explicación inaugurado por la medicina hipocrático-galénica. Su nueva síntesis cristiana inscribiría en nuevas coordenadas a aquel modelo explicativo de la ciencia secular. Pues, tal como consta en sus escritos, el fin subordinante de la phýsis estará, trazado por la dimensión espiritual.
A long hermeneutical tradition has indicated, in one way or another, the influence of ancient medicine on the writings of Evagrius Ponticus. The present work intends to continue this same line of analysis, particularly pointing out how the teleological model of explanation assumed by the monk of Ponto regarding the “phýsis” is the same explanatory model inaugurated in the Hippocratic treatise “On ancient medicine” and later developed by Galen in his moral writings about diseases of the soul. But the interest of our study is not only limited to exposing the sources that seem to have nourished the Evagrian understanding of the disease of the soul, but also seeks to clarify the original element that the Monk of the Pontus would introduce in this line of Hippocratic medicine.
