Summary/Abstract: In the research entitled „Creation and Splendor, for an Education of the Eye”, we summarized the main classical ideas by which Orthodox theology understands creation and man. Starting from the complex theology of Saint Maximus the Confessor and reaching contemporary theologians such as Seraphim Rose, Al. Kalomiros, Andrei Kuraev, Doru Costache, Ch. Yannaras, I. Zizioulas and David Benteley Hart, I tried to look at creation in a key of beauty and thus understand the greatness of the Creator. Only a look educated by beauty can understand the act of creation as a utterance of God outside. Also, over the course of a few pages, I argued why Pierre Teillhard de Chardin. it cannot be placed in the continuation of patristic theology.
