Publisher's Summary

Dive into the captivating world of pre-modern thought and explore how philosophers grappled with the mysteries of the mind before the birth of psychology. From the halls of medieval monasteries to the vibrant intellectual landscape of the Renaissance, this book unravels the complex debates about the soul, the intellect, and the power of the imagination.
Discover how:

  • Medieval thinkers, inspired by the rediscovered works of Aristotle, wrestled with the relationship between the soul and the body.
  • Renaissance philosophers, enthralled by Plato, ignited a fascination with the inner world and individual experience.
  • Controversial figures like Averroes and Descartes challenged traditional beliefs and shaped new ways of understanding the mind.
  • Skeptics like Montaigne and the rise of empiricism paved the way for a more scientific exploration of the mind.

Embrace the enduring questions that still resonate today, and appreciate the profound impact of pre-modern philosophy on our modern understanding of the mind.
