Nicephorus Blemmydes on the Holy Trinity and the Paraconsistent Notion of Numbers: A Logical Analysis of a Byzantine Approach to the Filioque
Nicephorus Blemmydes’ symmetric formula “through each other” proposed instead of the Filioque in the 1250s belongs to the Cappadocian tradition of Triadology. This conclusion is not demonstrable from a habitual (in patrology) philological analysis but can be reached through a logical analysis. The implied theory of numbers is sketched.
