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.
