Publication Date: 2006-05-01
Features: This collection includes three major works of Gregory of Nyssa, aiming to comprehensively reveal his anthropological structural vision and the distinctive features of his theology. Among them, On the Making of Man and On the Soul and the Resurrection form the main framework of Gregory's anthropology. The first, although a specialized treatise on anthropology, elucidates the relationship between humans and their source of existence, as well as the relationship between humans and the created world through these two essays. On Virginity, on the other hand, seeks to instill in readers a passion for an extraordinary life, particularly the goal of maintaining chastity and sacred contemplation in secular life. The Century Humanistic Series encompasses five interfaces: "The Century Library," "The Century Frontier," "Miniature 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, which began in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, comprehensively organizes academic works from modern China, aiming to provide a stepping stone for contemporary reflection on the social and spiritual conditions of modern China. The Western Studies Series aims to systematically translate classic texts from the Western civilization's overall process 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.
