REFLECTIONS ON CREATION: THE “NORMATIVE MAN” THROUGH THE LENS OF SAINT GREGORY OF NYSSA'S ANTHROPOLOGY

Summary/Abstract: Our study explores the concept of the "normative man" from the perspective of Saint Gregory of Nyssa's anthropology. The starting point is the analysis of the biblical passage that describes the creation of man, a fundamental passage for understanding the place and purpose of humanity in the Christian vision. The emphasis will be on human dignity conferred by being created "in the image and likeness of God." We will explore how the image of God is reflected in various aspects of human existence: reason, free will, and relationships. We aim to offer a nuanced perspective on the complexity of the human condition, highlighting the extraordinary potential of man created in the image of God.
