This book contains a collection of papers devoted to the problems
of body, mind and soul in medieval Europe between 1200 and 1420.
Modern discussions of the mind-body relationship seldom look back
into the past further than the psycho-somatic dualism of Descartes
which started the mechanistic approach in biology and medicine. The
authors of the volume go beyond that fault line to investigate the
tradition of medieval natural philosophy and its ancient sources
and analyze the issues forming a borderland between physiology and
psychology. They also demonstrate that the medieval tradition was
rich and diverse for it offered a wide variety of the discussed
problems as well as the methodological approaches. This volume is
the first attempt to cover a diversity of topics and methods
employed in the medieval debates on body, mind and soul as well as
their interrelationships. The Embodied Soul is a must-have for all
those interested in puzzling dilemmas of how a living organism
functions and how its inner life can be explained as well as for
all those interested in the history of thought in general. Chapter

This book, provides a critical approach to all major logical
paradoxes: from ancient to contemporary ones. There are four key
aims of the book: 1. Providing systematic and historical survey of
different approaches - solutions of the most prominent paradoxes
discussed in the logical and philosophical literature. 2.
Introducing original solutions of major paradoxes like: Liar
paradox, Protagoras paradox, an unexpected examination paradox,
stone paradox, crocodile, Newcomb paradox. 3. Explaining the
far-reaching significance of paradoxes of vagueness and change for
philosophy and ontology. 4. Proposing a novel, well justified and,
as it seems, natural classification of paradoxes. "
