Both of them defined the commonly accepted statement with the Greek term tÕ ÐmologoÚmenon which in the philo­sophical tradition derived from Aristotle meant true and reliable premiss that led to absolute knowledge. In such a meaning that term <em>– </em>interchangeably with the expression koinaˆ oennoiai <em>– </em>was used not only in philosophy but also in rhetoric. The methods used by Eunomius and Gregory of Nyssa show that their dispute was not what we would today call a religious issue, but a truly scientific/philosophical debate conducted in accordance with the commonly accepted (<em>nomen omen</em>!) rules.</p>}, journal={Vox Patrum}, author={Przyszychowska, Marta}, year={2018}, month={Dec.}, pages={139–148} }
