The present work intends to deepening in a characteristic notion of the the writings of the philosopher of the Late Antiquity, Evagrio Póntico. This is, the notion of logismoí. The different modulations and meanings, with which Evagrio refers to this topic, justifies the need to approach it in order to achieve a coherent conceptualization that contemplates all his senses. We will try to elucidating whether we are facing a psychic reality and/or -what our author considers- a preternatural suggestion. We believe that the understanding of these logismoí as the cognitive correlate of the passions, which are diseased as a result of self-ignorance, constitutes the vault key to access a coherent conceptualization.
