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.

The ever growing impacts of the human induced climate crisis are experienced in very specific ways in the small Pacific Island nations, or what we prefer to call Big Ocean States. Many of these islands are facing the devastating impacts of the climate crisis, ranging from sea level rise and its consequences, to changes in crop production and ecosystems and seasonal growing patterns, and associated social, economic and political changes.

AbstractBecausePlato's Philosophers:The Coherence of the Dialoguesis such a monumental book, understanding its own coherence is a daunting task. The dialogueTheaetetushas as its theme the problem of knowledge, and so the part ofPlato's Philosophersthat deals with theTheaetetusseems a promising place to begin to think through what Zuckert's book means to be as a whole. In theTheaetetuswe learn how knowledge, as a story that must begin and unfold for us in time, while necessarily partial, provides indirect, if imperfect, access to the whole and leads to a kind of self- knowledge. Plato makes this self-knowledge, the true goal of philosophy, most fully manifest in the drama of the life of his philosopher, Socrates, to whichPlato's Philosophers, in meticulously tracing the dramatic order of the dialogues, means to provide access.

AbstractThe account of law in Plato's Minos is on its surface strange. Law is both what "wants to be the finding out of what is" and "the finding out of what is." It is a faculty in us like sight or hearing, and its stability requires that it be independent of us. It makes universal claims but always does so for a particular people in a particular place. Law must be grounded in what is beyond the law, and yet, once established, must assert its own final authority. Lawgivers must be at once above the law, almost a different species from those for whom they legislate, and, like everyone else, subject to the law. These ambiguities, indeed duplicities, are not so much defects of law to be resolved as indications of its fundamental nature. What follows is an account of this dual nature, especially in its necessary connection to poetry.
