Theoria gets misconstrued in our western culture. So I'm wondering what this "contemplation of God" actually means. I think it to be "putting out of mind the thoughts of the created and putting in the uncreated", but I'm not sure what that means or if I'm correct in my assessment.
On the other side, it seems that true praxis cannot be separated from theoria. the more one grows in theosis, the more pure/true that one's theoria and praxis will be.
My question mainly is: "What is theoria and what is praxis purged from a western mindset?"
