Imiaslavie is a dogmatic movement, which asserts that the Name of God is God Himself. The movement emerged among russian monks on Mt. Athos in Greek in the beginning of the 20th century, but both proponents and opponents claimed its connections with much religious thought throughout the history of Christianity. The proponents of Imiaslavie argued that like 'idea' of Plato, the Name of God must pre-exist before the world was created, and that the Name cannot not be anything but God Himself. The opponents, Imiaborstvo considered that Imiaslavie is a pantheistic teaching, and incompatible with Christianity. Imiaslavie was condemned for its heresy by Russian Orthodox Church., but it could not put an end on this issue. As indicated by many russian philosophers, including Sergey Bulgakov, Pavel Florensky, Aleksey Losev, Imiaslavie is not only a religious question. Conflict over the Name of The God between Imiaslavie and ImiaborstboI reflects that of two main steams of world view - idealism and materialism, and served as momentum of starting the Moscow school of Christian Neoplatonism, which opend the new pages in the field of Russian philosophy.
