 Eriugena’s view of the cosmos as holy order (hierarchia) where mediation (medietas) is realized through theophanies (theophaniai) is mostly derived from Dionysius; by contemplating (theoria) this order, the human being can return to its divine source through the mediation of these theophanies; Eriugena expands this idea by finding a correlation between theophanies and Maximus’ logoi (as the reasons and principles of all created beings) and Augustine’s seminal reasons; he then brings all these aspects together into the framework of cosmic Christology, inspired by Maximus, in which the human being is co-participant in the redemption of creation.
