Naturalization of the Soul charts the development of the concepts
of soul and self in Western thought, from Plato to the present. It
fills an important gap in intellectual history by being the first
book to emphasize the enormous intellectual transformation in the
eighteenth century, when the religious 'soul' was replaced first by
a philosophical 'self' and then by a scientific 'mind'. The authors
show that many supposedly contemporary theories of the self were
actually discussed in the eighteenth century, and recognize the
status of William Hazlitt as one of the most important Personal
Identity theorists of the British Enlightenment, for his direct
relevance to contemporary thinking.
Now available in paperback, Naturaliazation of the Soul is
essential reading for anyone interested in the issues at the core
of the Western philosophical tradition.
