The History Of The Concept Of The Soul Lyrics

Homer didn't have a comprehensive word for mind.

the psyche and the
conscious self had not yet been combined.

He understood events as
repetition of the past,

and individual consciousness was not a part of
that.

But early Greek thought played a role in the complicate history

of the concept of the soul.



By the time of Plato these ideas
had taken shape.

The Phaedo and Timaeus are works which demonstrate

the consious separation of the knower from the known

and the dual
nature of the body and the soul.

Modern thought was possible:

the
complicated history of the concept of the soul.

Whoa!



Pythagoras and Orphic doctrines all came into play,

because Plato was
a mystic in his own Platonic way.

The pre-Socratic Naturalists saw things
in terms of "stuff".

But Plato's metaphysics showed that this was not
enough.

This is the incredible complicated history of the concept of the
soul.

Rock and roll.
