The aim of this article is to explore the relationship between the notions of ‘logos of
well-being’ and the ‘mode of existence’ in Maximus the Confessor. In pursuing this
goal the article addresses the problem of how to understand the logos of well-being,
which defines the mode of existence on the one hand and how losely it is bound to the
logos of nature on the other hand. Although it is possible to contrast the mode of existence
to the logoi embedded in its nature, the question arises as to how one’s mode of existence
can be established by acting in accordance with the logos of the individual being as well
as universal logoi. In answering this question, I intend to interpret certain scenes from
the science-fiction film Annihilation as the backdrop against which the relationship
between the logos of well-being and the mode of existence will be portrayed. I will first
draw a parallel between Maximus’ expression ‘assimilation of particulars to universals’
and examples of indi...vidual beings as a combination of different species and genera that
appear in the film. Secondly, I will attempt to demonstrate the uniqueness of the mode
of existence by analysing the hypothetical existence of two individual beings that share
the same logos of nature and the mode of existence. Thirdly, I will argue that the dispassionate
relationship between beings defines one’s mode of existence that in return
activate the logoi of one’s nature. The result of this investigation is to demonstrate that
by acting in accordance with the logos of well-being, the human being establishes its
own mode of existence – one that is always in compliance with the divine will.
