Forms, Souls, and Embryos

- Neoplatonists on Human Reproduction

Om Forms, Souls, and Embryos

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 embryös 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 embryös 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.
