Soul and Life: Psyche in Seminal Ancient Greek Thinkers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780881469257)

SOUL AND LIFE brings together essays on Greek ontology, psychology, politics, and theories of soul in Socratic thought, Plato, Aristotle, and Herodotus. Among the included perspectives, there is the recognition in common that the soul (psyche) is not a mere hypostatization or reification of the object of cognitive studies. Instead, these essays attempt to understand the soul as distinguished by life itself and as setting out ways of being in the world. Essays focus on political psychology, pursue feminist themes, and engage with issues in ethics and education. Others argue that the soul situates the fundamental structures in ontology and the study of Being as such. Contributors include Deborah Achtenberg, Cinzia Arruzza, Ronna Burger, Shane Montgomery Ewegen, I-Kai Jeng, Daniel P. Maher, Kevin Marren, Michael M. Shaw, Charlotte C.S. Thomas, and Stuart D. Warner.
