Exploring Gregory of Nyssa: Philosophical, Theological, and
Historical Studies brings together an interdisciplinary team of
historians, classicists, philosophers, and theologians to offer a
holistic exploration of the thought of Gregory of Nyssa. The volume
considers Gregory's role in the main philosophical and religious
controversies of his era, such as his ecclesiastical involvement in
the Neo-Nicene apologetical movement. It looks at his complex
relationships-for example with his brother Basil of Caesarea and
with Gregory of Nazianzus. Contributors highlight Gregory's debt to
Origen, but also the divergence between the two thinkers, and their
relationships to Platonism. They also examine Gregory of Nyssa's
wider philosophy and metaphysics; deep questions in philosophy of
language such as the nature of predication and singular terms that
inform our understanding of Gregory's thought; and the role of
metaphysical concepts such as the nature of powers and identity.
The study paints a picture of Gregory as a ground-breaking
philosopher-theologian. It analyses the nature of the soul, and
connection to theological issues such as resurrection; questions
that are still of interest in the philosophy of religion today,
such as divine impassibility and the nature of the Trinity; and
returning to more immediately humane concerns, Gregory also has
profound thoughts on topics such as vulnerability and
self-direction. The volume will be of primary interest to
researchers, lecturers, and postgraduate students in philosophy,
classics, history, and theology, and can be recommended as
secondary reading for undergraduates, especially those studying
classics and theology.
