Abstract:

The article copes with two major notions of Christian philosophy “hypostasis“ and “icon“ which importance have increased for the last decades of continental philosophy. The author exercises how the first notion gives rise to the meaning of second one, the icon, by the work of St. John of Damascus on ontology of hypostases. In the report is claimed that the inversed perspective presents not subjective but a hypostatic “point of view”. The second part of report concerns some iconographic explication of the definition of icon exercised in the first part.

Keywords:

hypostasis, icon, multipunctual perspective, face
