Features: This collection includes three of Gregory of Nyssa's representative works, aiming to fully display his anthropological structural vision and the various characteristics of his theology. 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 in maintaining chastity and the goal of sacred contemplation amidst secular life. The Century Humanistic Series encompasses five interfaces: "The Century Library," "The Century Frontier," "Pocket Classics," "University Classics," and "Open Humanities," each forming a series that complements 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 Studies series and the Western Studies series. The Chinese Studies series, starting from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, comprehensively organizes academic works from modern China since the late Qing Dynasty, aiming to provide a step-by-step foundation for contemporary reflection on the social and spiritual conditions of modern China. The Western Studies series aims to systematically translate classic texts from Western civilization since ancient Greece and Rome, 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.
