      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>This book addresses certain aspects of the religious thought of H.S. Skovoroda (demonology, the struggle against sin, the spiritualisation of worldly time) against the background of Neoplatonism in its Judaic-Christian interpretation and the Byzantine mystic-ascetic tradition. The author proposes an analysis of Skovoroda's dialogues in which the search for Neoplatonist sources is combined with the identification of elements that can be traced to the tripartite breakdown of the spiritual progress of the Christian into praxis, gnosis. This division, typical of the Eastern Church, conceives spiritual life as an ascending path organised in progressive levels. 
The study of Skovoroda's universe-text yields two constants. The first is an intense interrelation between the Text and the divine Logos (the Biblical word), which, replicating the schema envisioned in the Christianisation of the cosmology of the Timeo, becomes an active architectural component of the same. The second is an image of the world dominated by a vertical/centripetal orientation, which implies the possibility of a return of things to God, the ultimate end of the path leading from the praxis to the theoria.

        <p>Il libro affronta determinati aspetti del pensiero religioso di H.S. Skovoroda (la demonologia, la lotta contro il peccato, la spiritualizzazione del tempo terreno) sullo sfondo del neoplatonismo nella sua interpretazione giudaico-cristiana e della tradizione mistico-ascetica bizantina. L'autrice propone un'analisi della produzione dialogica skovorodiana in cui la ricerca delle ascendenze neoplatoniche è integrata dall'individuazione degli elementi riconducibili alla tripartizione del percorso spirituale del cristiano in praxis, gnosis e theoria. Questa suddivisione, tipica della Chiesa orientale, concepisce la vita spirituale come un cammino ascensionale, strutturato secondo gradi progressivi. 
Dallo studio dell'Universo-testo skovorodiano emergono due costanti: un intenso rapporto di interrelazione tra il Testo e il Logos divino (la parola biblica), il quale, replicando lo schema previsto dalla cristianizzazione della cosmologia del Timeo, ne diviene un'attiva componente architettonica; un'immagine del mondo dominata da un orientamento verticale/centripeto, in cui è implicata la possibilità del ritorno delle cose a Dio, fine ultimo del percorso che dalla praxis conduce alla theoria.
