It contains four case-studies on (1) Galen’s remarkable and original thoughts on the relation between body and soul, (2) his notion of human nature, (3) his engagement with Plato’s Timaeus, (4) and black bile and melancholy. It shows that Galen develops an innovative view of human nature that problematizes the distinction between body and soul.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents   Acknowledgements   Abbreviations and Other Notes   Introduction      1 The Cultivation of the Soul in a ‘Physicalist’ World    Ethical Philosophy in Galen’s QAM    Introduction    1 Aristotle and the Non-rational Parts of the Soul    2 Plato and the Rational Part of the Soul    3 Positioning in the Scholarly Debate    4 The Possible Continuity in the Divine and Human Formation of the Bodily Mixture    Conclusion      2 Galen on the Nature of Man    Introduction    1 The Primary Substance    2 Divisio ad principes: a Hippocratic-Platonic Method    3 Elements and Qualities    4 Grades and Shades of Nature    5 Nature of the Body, Nature of the Soul    Conclusion      3 Soul, Mixture and Galen’s Timaeus    Introduction    1 Sources    2 Scope of the Commentary    3 Basic Tendencies in Galen’s Interpretation of the Timaeus    4 Comparing Galen’s Timaeus to the Larrain Fragments    Conclusion      4 Galen on Black Bile and Melancholy    Introduction    1 Precedents    2 Galen on Black Bile    3 Galen on Melancholy    Conclusion on Black Bile and Melancholy      General Conclusion   Bibliography   Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210848493911,"sku":"9789004520875","price":124.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/philosophical-perspectives-on-galen-of-pergamum-four-case-studies-on-human-nature-and-the-relation-between-body-and-soul-9789004520875","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
