St. Anselm and St. Gregory Palamas shared a common goal: the transformation of human nature through participation in divine perfection. Despite methodological differences and distinct emphases, both traditions articulate a vision of deification that integrates intellect, affectivity, experience, and contemplation. By engaging with Anselm's Western "logic of perfection" and theology as contemplation (theoria) in dialogue with Palamas' emphasis on experiential union with God's uncreated energies, we can construct an East-West dialogue that illuminates deification as a holistic process. Anselm's esse and Palamas' uncreated energies can be seen as complementary expressions of the same reality: God's self-giving to creation. This talk gives a different lens to look at the Western theology's relationship with the concept of theosis, where Anselm presents a "logic" that unites theology with existential transformation.
