SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Soul Matters: Plato and Platonists on the Nature of the Soul
DESCRIPTION:Platonist discourses about the soul are incredibly rich and multitiered. That complexity is rooted in Plato's own texts\, offering as they do competing views on the nature of the soul. How did the soul (psyche) come to stand in for the interiority of the human person? How did the idea of an incorporeal self come to occupy an unbroken tradition of over one thousand years\, pervading cultures around the Mediterranean basin\, but rooted in ideas that can be directly traced back to Plato’s texts? Over that millennium\, questions arose as to the existence of a world soul or even of an evil soul\, the cosmic function of the soul\, the way that the soul thinks\, how soul governs or enlivens the body\, the pre-existence of the soul\, its fall into embodiment\, etc. How did soul come to have so many disparate functions and configurations in the Platonic tradition?\n\nIn celebration of the upcoming 70th birthday of John Finamore\, Roger Hornsby Professor of Classics at the University of Iowa\, President of the International Society for Neoplatonic Studies\, and Editor of the International of the Platonic Tradition.\n\nSCHEDULE\n\nDay One\, Friday Dec. 6 \nClassics Library\, 2175 Angell Hall\nConference Opening\n\nFirst Session: Plotinus and Proclus\n2:00 pm \nSuzanne Stern-Gillet.
