Forms, Souls, and Embryos: Neoplatonists on Human Reproduction - Issues in Ancient Philosophy
James Wilberding
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 embryo?s 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 embryo?s 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.
