In the works of Maximus the Confessor, one clearly sees what could be termed the "book of creation," which is inscribed with divine meaning. The essay proceeds along several lines: first, it considers the development of the doctrine of the λόγοι in Maximus's predecessors; second, it considers Maximus's own contributions to a developing "logology" in the Fathers, especially by Maximus's pairing of the triads of being, well-being, and eternal being with creation, providence, and circumscription, which are treated in the third and fourth positions in the essay; finally, the essay explores what Maximus's "logology" has to say to a contemporary account of the ecology of creation, especially with a view toward correcting the technocratic dominion over nature.
