The topic of acedia is an example of this. The present work examines this Evagrian conception of acedia according to some hermeneutical keys given by two important scholars of the Ponticus’ thought. After clarifying the concept of acedia, the article advances in the elucidation of the resource of the word as a therapeutic instance, mainly of the word of Psalmody. The acedia is, consecutively, incuria or carelessness, tempting λογισμός and passionate overflow, which impel to abandon the life of the spirit. Against the acedia the word of Psalmody stands as an important therapeutic resource to quiet passions, refute thoughts and restore hope. Evagrio Póntico es uno de los primeros grandes sistematizadores de la espiritualidad cristiana y, por lo mismo, de gran importancia en diversos desarrollos antropológicos y de espiritualidad en el medioevo. El tópico de la acedia resulta un ejemplo de ello. El presente trabajo examina esta concepción evagriana de acedia de acuerdo a algunas claves hermenéuticas otorgadas por dos de los estudiosos más importantes del pensamiento del Póntico. Una vez clarificado el concepto de acedia, avanza en la dilucidación del recurso de la palabra como instancia terapéutica, principalmente de la palabra de la salmodia. La acedia es, consecutivamente, incuria o descuido, λογισμός tentador y desborde pasional, que impulsan a abandonar la vida del espíritu. Frente a ello, la palabra de la salmodia se erige en un importante recurso terapéutico para aquietar las pasiones, refutar los pensamientos y restaurar la esperanza. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/8719 10.34096/petm.v41.n1.8719 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/8719/7523 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/8719/7533 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 41 Núm. 1 (2020); 41-53 2683-9636 Evagrio Póntico Acedia Logismoi salmodia negligencia Evagrius Ponticus Acedia Logismoi psalmody negligence The Word as a Therapeutic Instance of Acedia in Evagrius Ponticus.
