| Zusammenfassung: | The understanding of the soul in the West has been profoundly shaped by Christianity, and its influence can be seen in certain assumptions often made about the soul: that, for example, if it does exist, it is separable from the body, free, immortal, and potentially pure. The ancient Greeks, however, conceived of the soul quite differently. In this ambitious new work, Michael Davis analyzes works by Homer, Herodotus, Euripides, Plato, and Aristotle to reveal how the ancient Greeks portrayed and understood what he calls 8220;the fully human soul. 8221; Beginning with Homers Iliad, Davis lays out the tension within the soul of Achilles between immortality and life. He then turns to Aristotles De Anima and Nicomachean Ethics to explore the consequences of the problem of Achilles across the whole range of the souls activity. Moving to Herodotus and Euripides, Davis considers the formers portrayal of the two extremes of cultureone rooted in stability and tradition, the other in freedom and motionand explores how they mark the limits of character. Davis then shows how Helen and Iphigeneia among the Taurians serve to provide dramatic examples of Herodotuss extreme cultures and their consequences for the soul. The book returns to philosophy in the final part, plumbing several Platonic dialoguesthe Republic, Cleitophon, Hipparchus, Phaedrus, Euthyphro, and Symposium to understand the souls imperfection in relation to law, justice, tyranny, eros, the gods, and philosophy itself. Davis concludes with Platos presentation of the soul of Socrates as self-aware and nontragic, even if it is necessarily alienated and divided against itself. The Soul of the Greeks thus begins with the imperfect soul as it is manifested in Achilles heroic, but tragic, longing and concludes with its nontragic and fuller philosophic expression in the soul of Socrates. But, far from being a historical survey, it is instead a brilliant meditation on what lies at the heart of being human. |

But, far from being a historical survey, it is instead a brilliant meditation on what lies at the heart of being human.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="588" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Print version record.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Soul.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85125350</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Philosophy, Ancient.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85100861</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Greek literature</subfield><subfield code="x">History and criticism.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Soul in literature.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94009080</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Âme.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Philosophie ancienne.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Littérature grecque</subfield><subfield code="x">Histoire et critique.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Âme dans la littérature.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">PHILOSOPHY</subfield><subfield code="x">Movements</subfield><subfield code="x">Humanism.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Greek literature</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Soul in literature</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Philosophy, Ancient</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Soul</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Criticism, interpretation, etc.</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">The soul of the Greeks (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCGK4whFJkywWRpPQG7tKbd</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Davis, Michael, 1947-</subfield><subfield code="t">Soul of the Greeks.</subfield><subfield code="d">Chicago ; London : University of Chicago Press, 2011</subfield><subfield code="z">9780226137964</subfield><subfield code="w">(DLC) 2010024178</subfield><subfield code="w">(OCoLC)642510059</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="l">FWS01</subfield><subfield code="p">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield><subfield code="q">FWS_PDA_EBA</subfield><subfield code="u">https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=361883</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">De Gruyter</subfield><subfield code="b">DEGR</subfield><subfield code="n">9780226137995</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Coutts Information Services</subfield><subfield code="b">COUT</subfield><subfield code="n">17675696</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ebrary</subfield><subfield code="b">EBRY</subfield><subfield code="n">ebr10459098</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBSCOhost</subfield><subfield code="b">EBSC</subfield><subfield code="n">361883</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ProQuest MyiLibrary Digital eBook Collection</subfield><subfield code="b">IDEB</subfield><subfield code="n">305485</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">YBP Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">YANK</subfield><subfield code="n">3800806</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ProQuest Ebook Central</subfield><subfield code="b">EBLB</subfield><subfield code="n">EBL675681</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="994" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">92</subfield><subfield code="b">GEBAY</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="049" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">DE-863</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |

The understanding of the soul in the West has been profoundly shaped by Christianity, and its influence can be seen in certain assumptions often made about the soul: that, for example, if it does exist, it is separable from the body, free, immortal, and potentially pure. The ancient Greeks, however, conceived of the soul quite differently. In this ambitious new work, Michael Davis analyzes works by Homer, Herodotus, Euripides, Plato, and Aristotle to reveal how the ancient Greeks portrayed and understood what he calls 8220;the fully human soul. 8221; Beginning with Homers Iliad, Davis lays out the tension within the soul of Achilles between immortality and life. He then turns to Aristotles De Anima and Nicomachean Ethics to explore the consequences of the problem of Achilles across the whole range of the souls activity. Moving to Herodotus and Euripides, Davis considers the formers portrayal of the two extremes of cultureone rooted in stability and tradition, the other in freedom and motionand explores how they mark the limits of character. Davis then shows how Helen and Iphigeneia among the Taurians serve to provide dramatic examples of Herodotuss extreme cultures and their consequences for the soul. The book returns to philosophy in the final part, plumbing several Platonic dialoguesthe Republic, Cleitophon, Hipparchus, Phaedrus, Euthyphro, and Symposium to understand the souls imperfection in relation to law, justice, tyranny, eros, the gods, and philosophy itself. Davis concludes with Platos presentation of the soul of Socrates as self-aware and nontragic, even if it is necessarily alienated and divided against itself. The Soul of the Greeks thus begins with the imperfect soul as it is manifested in Achilles heroic, but tragic, longing and concludes with its nontragic and fuller philosophic expression in the soul of Socrates. But, far from being a historical survey, it is instead a brilliant meditation on what lies at the heart of being human. Print version record.
