Plato's doctrine of the soul, its immaterial nature, its parts or
faculties, and its fate after death (and before birth) came to have
an enormous influence on the great religious traditions that sprang
up in late antiquity, beginning with Judaism (in the person of
Philo of Alexandria), and continuing with Christianity, from St.
Paul on through the Alexandrian and Cappadocian Fathers to
Byzantium, and finally with Islamic thinkers from Al-kindi on. This
volume, while not aspiring to completeness, attempts to provide
insights into how members of each of these traditions adapted
Platonist doctrines to their own particular needs, with varying
degrees of creativity.
