mon_kassia"Palamas seems to distort Aristotelian logic in order to show that syllogisms about God's attributes are demonstrative. Barlaam, on the other hand, attempts to establish that it is only through dialectical syllogisms that we may acquire knowledge of God's attributes; and he does it be closely following Aristotle's texts.
...it may be true that Barlaam defended his views in an arrogant and agressive way, but it seems that he was much closer to Aristotle's text. Palamas constantly accused him of being influenced by the Latins - even calling him Latinohellene - but such accusations only confused matters. It is in fact indicative that, when the theological and political disputes finally faded away, Barlaam's work was re-examined, and his logical views were appreciated by some Byzantine scholars, like Bessarion ans Scolarios."
