ИСТИНА

This report is dedicated to the problem of the development of the Plato’s idea of the androgyne in Medieval philosophy. The changes in this concept connected with the synthesis of the myth of Plato and biblical history of the Fall of man. There was the external reason for the split of the androgyne in Plato’s myth. In medievalism the process of separating is associated with the falling away of the soul, which illuminates the internal cause. The way of rebuilding unity becomes a measure of a person’s responsibility for his Salutis, because the reason for the split is in human, in his Fall, although is also reflects a disposition of Providence. The Platonic understanding of the androgyne is characterized by indivisibility, while medieval philosophy understood as a dynamic unity in which opposites, complement each other gaining completeness in the wholeness.
