Description

Explore the historical concept of the world as a living, rational organism with World Soul - Anima Mundi: On the Origins and Fortunes of a Fundamental Idea. This scholarly volume traces the development of the 'anima mundi' notion from its roots in Antiquity through its influence on later thinkers. From the early ideas found in Plato's Timaeus to the influential concepts of German Idealism, such as Schelling's 'Weltseele' and Hegel's 'Weltgeist', this book provides a comprehensive look at how the cosmos has been understood. This collection serves as a primary resource for those studying the evolution of philosophical thought regarding the connection between the world and a central soul. This volume is the first collection of its kind dedicated to the origin of the world soul idea. It brings together 14 original contributions from specialists in ancient philosophy, the history of theology, and the Platonic tradition. Readers will find deep analysis covering a wide range of thinkers, including the Presocratic Heraclitus, Plato, and his readers in the Middle and Neoplatonic periods.
