    Selfhood and the Soul: Essays on Ancient Thought and Literature in Honour of Christopher Gill

    Selfhood and the Soul: Essays on Ancient Thought and Literature in Honour of Christopher Gill by Richard Seaford, John Wilkins, Matthew Wright
    2017 | ISBN: 0198777256 | English | 336 pages | PDF | 2 MB

    Selfhood and the Soul is a collection of new and original essays in honor of Christopher Gill, Emeritus Professor of Ancient Thought at the University of Exeter.

    All of the essays in the volume contribute to a shared project–the exploration of ancient concepts of self and soul, understood in a broad sense–and, as in the work of the honor and himself, they are distinguished by a diversity of approach and subject matter, ranging widely across disciplinary boundaries to cover ancient philosophy, psychology, medical writing, and literary criticism. They can be read separately or together, taking the reader on a journey through topics and themes as varied as money, love, hope, pleasure, rage, free will, metempsychosis, Roman imperialism, cookery, and the Underworld, yet all committed to examining central issues about the experience of being a person and the question of how best to live.

    The international line-up of contributors includes many established figures in the disciplines of classical literature, ancient philosophy, and ancient medicine, as well as several younger scholars. All have been inspired by Christopher Gill's contributions to scholarly research in these fields and their collective work aspires to honor through imitation his remarkable combination of range with focus.
