The book provides a comprehensive and in-depth study of Nemesius of Emesa’s understanding of human being, otherwise an anthropology, in his treatise De natura hominis. It includes a reconstruction of the author’s profile within his historical-cultural context, then focuses on the philosophical (mainly Platonic, Aristotelian, Stoic and medical ideas) and theological (anti-heretics, orthodox and Patristics) roots of man’s conception and, finally, offers an assessment of the speculative depth of the author’s ideas about human nature.
