英文摘要	In this article, I intend to bring a small contribution to the knowledge of the Desert Fathers. First, I emphasize the main aspects of the spiritual life in Late Egyptian monasticism. Thus, I discuss the category of purity and impurity (or, to phrase it better: clean and unclean) and how they function within the world of the Desert Fathers. This binary dynamism is not to be understood solely or even generally in a sexual fashion. One can consider, for instance, clean and unclean foods, places, thoughts, practices, relationships, and so on. The dialectic of clean/unclean is akin to thinking of what pollutes and does not pollute. To understand the tension between these polarities helps us to get a better fix on a whole range of important monastic tropes: asceticism, the logismoi, the struggle with the demonic, the demand for flight from the world, issues of diet, etc. The monastic universe is one of the privileged places where were first developed and then applied the rules governing the patristic culture of the body. The ascetics who isolated themselves in the desert of Egypt (the fourth century) represent only a social group that is statistically negligible. But from the mentality point of view, the experience of this group fulfills a decisive function in Eastern Christianity. The monk embodies the heroism of boundless faith, because his ultimate aim remains the deification by grace, so that the monk becomes the Christian ideal whose behavior is paradigmatic for every Christian.
