Aristotle's treatise On the Soul figures among the most influential texts in the intellectual history of the West. It is the first systematic treatise on the nature and functioning of the human soul, presenting Aristotle's authoritative analyses of, among others, sense perception, imagination, memory, and intellect. The ongoing debates on this difficult work continue the commentary tradition that dates back to antiquity. This volume offers a selection of essays by distinguished scholars, exploring the ancient perspectives on Aristotle's De anima, from Aristotle's earliest successors through the Aristotelian Commentators at the end of Antiquity.
Each one of these papers addresses a central and difficult issue in Aristotle's psychology and each repays careful reading. Together they constitute a worthy commemoration of a milestone in the vibrant history of the De Wulf-Mansion Centre.

Uit dit korte overzicht blijkt al de rijke inhoud van deze bundel. Bepaalde beweringen zijn duidelijk innoverend, soms provocatief, terwijl andere de gevestigde traditie verdedigen. Hierin ligt onmiskenbaar heel wat stof ter discussie vervat, maar dat maakt het werk alleen maar interessanter.
