Plato’s concept of the world as a cosmic living being, possessed of a soul, was vital to the Stoic and Neo-Platonic philosophers, but faded with the rise of Leibniz and the rationalists. This book discusses how and why the German Romantics of the late 1700s and early 1800s came back to embrace the existence of the world soul.
