Abstract

The contemporary religious landscape of Mount Athos is a special landscape, inseparably linked with the wholeness of Mount Athos, its effect on humanity in its entirety. In this paper, the features, characteristics and specificities of the perception of such landscape were discussed in the common paradigm of architectural studies of the landscape and in theological discourse. Subject to only one of these sides, the vision of the religious landscape of Athos loses its essential characteristics, which are also vital to the other side. Such an interdisciplinary outlook is important because it allows to bring together the important aspects of human consciousness and being in the unity of the rational and irrational, mystical and physical aspects. Figurative integrity and analytical procedures allow to preserve the syncretic essence of the object in question -- the religious landscape of Mount Athos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
