| Synopsis: |
Forms, Souls, and Embryos? allows readers coming from different backgrounds to appreciate the depth and originality with which the Neoplatonists engaged with and responded to a number of philosophical questions central to human reproduction, including: What is the causal explanation of the embryo's formation? How and to what extent are Platonic Forms involved? ? In what sense is a fetus `alive,'? and when does it become a human being?? ? Where does the embryo's soul come from, and how is it connected to its body?? This is the first full-length study in English of this fascinating subject, and is a must-read for anyone interested in Neoplatonism or the history of ? medicine and embryology. |
