| Summary: | In Gregory of Nyssa's mind, corporeality is a constituent dimension of the human being: the real opposition is not between body and spirit, but between the creator and the creatures. Christ, the Word made flesh, who died and rose again for us, opens our eyes on the limits and on the meaning of our corporeality: he brings it to its fulfilment through the resurrection. Gregory, amidst opposite philosophical trends, accedes to a major intuition of philosophy ("the essential is not grasped by the eye" without in any way disparaging or absolutizing our existing body. Contrary to the pagan tendencies which lie dormant in us, we ought to rejoice: "the slavery of corruption is over" (Rom. 8,21). Our body goes on growing, and Chronos, assumed by Christ, does not devour his children any longer. |
