The thesis for acquiring the scientific degree of the Doctor of Philosophical sciences represents an integral study of conformities to the law of evolution of Byzantium Neoplatonism. Within the limits of the first circle of evolution of Byzantium Neoplatonism there were three original philosophical systems: antimetaphysical philosophy of superbeing of John Philoponus (Dionisius the Areopagite), philosophy of being of Maximus the Confessor, metaphysics of Byzantium essentialists of the VII beginning of XIV centuries. In 30th of XIV century as a result of theological discussions there was the special form of Byzantium Neoplatonism - palamism, which within the limits of own intensive development passed three stages of evolution: analogical to general motion evolutions of classic Byzantium Neoplatonism: neoareopagitism of Gregory Palamas, Christian Proclianism of Callistos Angelicoudis, Palamite scholasticism of the second half XIV and XV ages. Research of evolution of Byzantium Neoplatonism allows to find out concrete forms which was acquired by influence of philosophy on Christian theology on Greek the East in VI - XV centuries.
