In this paper, the views of Aristotle and Saint Maximus the Confessor on the passions of
the soul in the sphere of the Logos and Tropos in man are considered comparatively.
First, the study of the passions of each of them is studied separately, and the essence of
their approach is isolated from the extensive material of their anthropological gnoseology.
Then, it is examined which segments of both views overlap or diverge. Finally, the gap which
is dividing the ancient and church perspective and the perception of passions in the sphere
of the Logos and Tropos is determined.
