Notions of “intellect”, “mind”, “reason” in the patristic tradition

The article is devoted to the elaboration of the prime terms of Christian anthropology - “intellect”, “mind”, “reason”. Main provisions of the patristic doctrine concerning these higher forms of soul activity are represented briefly and consistently, necessary testimonies from the Holy Tradition are quoted and the prospects of further development of the topic are defined. Research of the above-mentioned notions in Christian tradition is still an undeveloped topic.
