The basic tenet of the Corpus Areopagiticum and Cappadocian doctrine of the impossibility
of knowing God except through His works holds a central place in Gregory Palamas` teaching. Presenting the distinction between essence (οὐσία) and actualization (ἐνέργεια), Palamas
uses the concepts discussed in detail in Aristotle’s philosophy. Something can, i.e. has potency
(δύναμις) to become something (a form), and something has become a form (actuality), i.e. has
been actualized (ἐνέργεια). The most important terminological distinction for understanding Palamas’ teaching is the conceptual pair potency–actualization (potentiality and actuality), because the essence is what has potency for actualization through a particular act. Palamas’ distinction between essence and actualizations, based on the teachings of the Church Fathers, particularly of the Cappadocians and Maximus the Confessor, has implications for the understanding of the Eucharist as the central theme of Orthodox theology ...and the basis of the liturgical practice.
