meonicadj.

Brit.

/meɪˈɒnɪk/,

/ˌmiːˈɒnɪk/, U.S.

/meɪˈɑnɪk/,

/miˈɑnɪk/

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element; modelled on a Russian lexical item. Etymons: Greek μὴ ὄν , -ic suffix.

Etymology: < ancient Greek μὴ ὄν (more fully τό μὴ ὄν that which is not, nothingness, void (Plato, citing a fragment of Parmenides; < τό , neuter definite article + μή not ( < an Indo-European base also found in the Sanskrit negative particle mā ) + ὄν , neuter present participle of εἶναι to be: see onto- comb. form)) + -ic suffix, after Russian meoničeskij (1931 in the passage translated in quot. 1937, but this may not be the first use, and see note below).In quot. 1937, το μηον translates Russian meon ; meonic translates both Russian meoničeskij , adjective (in the second quoted occurrence of the word) and (in the other occurrences) ničto (noun) ‘the nothing’, used appositively and undeclined (compare nitchevo int. and n.).

Philosophy.

Of, relating to, or consisting of a kind of pregnant nothingness or void (as distinguished from an absolute blank nothingness) having the potential to transform into matter.

1937 N. Duddington tr. N. Berdyaev Destiny of Man i. ii. 34 Man is the child of God and the child of freedom—of nothing, of non-being, το μηον. Meonic freedom consented to God's act of creation... The first act of creation..cannot avert the possibility of evil contained in meonic freedom... Out of the abyss, out of the Divine Nothing is born the Trinitary God and He is confronted with meonic freedom.

1938 J. Burnaby Amor Dei viii. 231 A mysterious ‘meonic abyss of freedom’.

1951 M. L. King in R. E. Luker & P. A. Russell Papers of Martin Luther King Jr. (1992) 424 Man may be described as the child of two parents: God, the formative agent in the process, and ‘meonic freedom’, the passive stuff which simply ‘consented’ to God's creative act.

1967 F. Nucho Berdyaev's Philos. vii. 155 When God created the world and man, He used the pre-existent meonic stuff which potentially contained uncreated freedom.

1978 I. Kesarcodi-Watson & I. Kesarcodi-Watson tr. V. Lossky Orthodox Theol. iv. 100 The Son of God..descends into a self-annihilating condition (not in the sense of the original nothing, but of the meonic gulf opened by the fallen state of man).
