Author: Gregory of Nyssa
Publisher:
Publication Date: 2006-05-01
Features: This collection includes three of Gregory of Nyssa's representative works, aiming to fully display his anthropological structural vision and the theological characteristics of his thought. Among them, On the Making of Man and On the Soul and Resurrection form the main framework of Gregory's anthropology. The first, although a specialized treatise on anthropology, through these two essays, the author elucidates the relationship between humans and their source of existence, as well as the relationship between humans and the created world. On Virginity, on the other hand, seeks to instill in readers a passion for an excellent life, particularly maintaining chastity and the goal of sacred contemplation in secular life. The Century Humanistic Series includes five interfaces: "The Century Library," "The Century Frontier," "Pocket Classics," "University Classics," and "Open Humanities," each forming a series and complementing one another. "Clarifying the context of Western thought and renewing the academic tradition of China" serves as the editorial principle of "The Century Library." The library is divided into two major book series: the Chinese series and the Western series. The Chinese series, starting from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, comprehensively organizes academic works since modern China, aiming to provide a stepping stone for contemporary reflection on the social and spiritual conditions of modern China. The Western series aims to systematically translate classic texts from the ancient Greek and Roman period onwards, starting from the overall process of Western civilization, thereby showcasing the emergence and evolution of the Western intellectual tradition and laying a solid textual foundation for addressing the core issues of modern China. This book is one of them.
