Psyche and Soma: Physicians and Metaphysicians on the Mind-Body Problem from Antiquity to Enlightenment

Editat de John P. Wright, Paul Potter
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 noi 2002
Psyche and Soma is a multi-disciplinary exploration of the conceptions of the human soul or mind and body, through the course of more than two thousand years of Western history. Thirteen specially commissioned chapters, each written by a recogized expert, discuss figures such as the physicians Hippocrates, Galen, Stahl, and Cabanis; theologians St Paul, Augustine, and Aquinas; and philosophers from Plato and Aristotle to Descartes, Leibniz, and La Mettrie. The chapters explore in chronlogical sequence the views of these writers on such questions as the soul's immortality, the control it exerts over the body, how mental disturbances arise out of bodily imbalances, and the roles of the priest and the physician in promoting spiritual and mental health. Psyche and Soma will be a key point of reference and a rich source of illumination in this central area of human inquiry.

Recenzii

Review from previous edition Psyche and Soma is an important resource for scholars in the history of science, medicine and philosophy and will stimulate discussion of these issues for many years to come.
timely and important
This thoughtfully constructed collection of essays is devoted to medical approaches to the mind-body problem over 2500 years ... is well worth reading for its accessible synopsis of a complcated historical narrative. The gradual disentanglement of the above questions is one of its more fascinating themes
