Abstract

BUGANZA, Jacob. Metaphysics, anthrtopology and moral cirtue in Saint Gregory of Nisa. Franciscanum [online]. 2023, vol.65, n.180, pp.9-9.  Epub Feb 12, 2024. ISSN 0120-1468.  https://doi.org/10.21500/01201468.6069.

This work studies the concept of moral virtue in two Saint Gregory of Nyssa´works: De professione Christiana and De perfectione, belonging to the stage immediately prior to the maturity of its author, marked above all by De vita Moysis. However, some of the characteristic theses of this last work are already traced in the first two, especially the proposal that virtue it´s an overwhelming and infinite task, as infinite is the nature of God. For this reason, the article studies, first, what divine infinity consists of according to Saint Gregory, specifically following the Contra Eunomium, then does the same in relation to philosophical anthropology and, finally, exposes what moral virtue consists in the two works mentioned.

Keywords : Gregory of Nyssa; Metaphysics; Infinite; Anthropology; Moral Virtue.
