Extracts from the Texts on Watchfulness

Evagrius' own treatment of the watchfulness theme

Evagrius the Solitary Volume 1 Secondary

Short extracts showing Evagrius's own treatment of the watchfulness theme, with his characteristic analytical precision. Best read alongside Hesychios's longer treatise, where the same ideas are developed at greater length. The brevity makes these extracts useful for memorization and repeated reflection — carrying a single sentence from Evagrius in your mind through the day is often more practical than reading another chapter.
