The modern view of the mind is the result of thousands of years of
thought, discussion, and experimentation. This volume examines how
the foundations of this concept were laid in the ancient world,
focusing on the role of ^Ipsyche^R in the thought of the most
influential philosophers, poets, and physicians from archaic Greece
to the fall of Rome. The authors show how the various processes we
now group together under the general rubric psychology—such as
thought, emotion, desire, and will—began as relatively disparate
parts of the Greek conceptual scheme, only converging gradually
over the course of centuries into what we now call mind. By
reconstructing what the ancient Greeks and Romans understood by
terms such as ^Ipsyche^R, ^Iphrenes^R, and ^Inous^R, this survey of
the early development of psychological thought highlights the
legacies of their accounts, which can still be found embedded in
modern psychological assumptions.
