Abstract

This work recovers the central argument of Saint Gregory of Nyssa´s De vita Moysis from the perspective of moral philosophy. First of all, the article links the concepts of moral virtue, perfection and good from a platonic-christian metaphysical vision. Secondly, the author relates the previous metaphysical concepts with the philosophical anthropology of the cappadocian theologian in order to link, finally, with two of the theophanies of Moses and his paradigmatic character.
