| Summary: | The semanticization of the term ἀναχώρησις highlights the polysemy of a word capable of expressing philosophical concepts, such as the universal passage from order to disorder and vice versa; or scientific-natural concepts, such as water flow and reflux and vice versa; or notions of military strategy, such as tactical retreat and counterattack. The specific meaning of withdrawal and return is the one on which to build the interpretative model of the Christian social and cultural phenomenon of the anachoresis: not escape from the world, but withdrawal as a function of a spiritually stronger return to it |
