"In my opinion, this book is more difficult to handle than the first volume of the Philokalia, because it is mostly comprised of the writings from St. Maximos the Confessor, who, I have to admit, is a bit of a mind-bender, probably because he is from a scholarly background. It becomes even more important here to keep in touch with the glossary provided with the text. Some understanding of Plato is helpful, since he is clearly influenced by Neo-Platonic thought. What I like most about his work was probably his explanation of how to approach text, specifically the Scriptures. Too often we get entangled in the literal meaning of the scriptures when there is so much more to be had.
Also St. John of Damaskos has a brief homily in this volume that does an excellent job of summarizing most of what I've read thus far. So if you're looking for the cliff notes, check out St. John of Damaskos."
