The 13th Century and the Soul as a Philosophical and Theological Concept

Viac o knihe

The book delves into the interplay of philosophy and theology in the 13th century, particularly through the lens of Thomas Aquinas and his synthesis of Platonic and Aristotelian ideas regarding the Soul. It explores the philosophical foundations laid by Plato, who questioned the immortality of the soul, and Aristotle's view of the soul as intrinsic to living beings. The text examines the Thomist perspective that sees the soul as the substantial form of the body, raising questions about the relationship between the soul and body, and inviting deeper reflection on the nature of existence and life.
