This article is a study of Pavel Florensky's philosophy of symbol in the context of his discovery of Palamism in the 1910s, when Florensky started to speak of symbol using Palamite language. It proposes a fundamental difference between Florensky's and Palamas’ teachings on symbol: Palamas views a natural symbol as the energy of an essence, while for Florensky symbol is the essence itself, the energy of which synergises with the energies of other essence. In this context the prehistory of the concept of synergy in Florensky is studied, leading to the identification of a further difference in the ontologies of Florensky and Palamas: while Florensky's ‘essence-energy’ has the property of necessary correlation with the ‘other’, following the tendencies of the philosophy of that epoch, in Palamas ‘energy’ does not presuppose any necessary correlation with the ‘other’. The author connects this difference in ontologies between the two thinkers with their respective teachings on symbol.

本文是对帕维尔·弗洛伦斯基（Pavel Florensky）在1910年代发现帕拉姆主义的背景下的符号哲学的研究，当时弗洛伦斯基开始使用帕拉米特（Palamite）语言来谈论符号。它提出了弗洛伦斯基和帕拉马斯关于符号的教义之间的根本区别：帕拉马斯将自然符号视为本质的能量，而弗洛伦斯基符号是本质本身，其能量与其他本质的能量协同作用。在这种情况下，研究了弗洛伦斯基协同概念的历史，从而进一步确定了弗洛伦斯基和帕拉马斯本体论的区别：尽管弗洛伦斯基的“本质能量”与“其他”具有必要的关联性，跟随那个时代哲学的趋势，在帕拉马斯语中，“能量”并不以与“其他”的任何必要关联为前提。作者将两种思想家之间本体论上的这种差异与他们各自关于符号的教义联系起来。
