Riassunto

The modern view of the mind is the result of thousands of years of thought, discussion, and experimentation. This volume examines how the foundations of this concept were laid in the ancient world, focusing on the role of psyche in the thought of the most influential philosophers, poets, and physicians from archaic Greece to the fall of Rome. The authors show how the various processes we now group together under the general rubric "psychology"--such as thought, emotion, desire, and will--began as relatively disparate parts of the Greek conceptual scheme, only converging gradually over the course of centuries into what we now call "mind."
