Bastitta Harriet, Francisco
An Ontological Freedom

The Origins of the Notion in Gregory of Nyssa and its Influence unto the Italian Renaissance.

Gregory of Nyssa is not as yet deemed one of the outstanding figures in our Histories of Philosophy. However, the monograph argues that his remarkable theories of freedom transcend his own time and, traversing centuries of Medieval and Byzantine history, they become one of the core theoretical inspirations for the anthropological revolution of the Quattrocento, as evinced in eminent philosophers such as Nicholas of Cusa and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola.
