Book Description
Excerpt from On the Science of Sensibility, or Simple Element of Soul: And the Spirit of Life and Origin of Species, and Natural Cause of the Constancy of Each Species to Its Type In the books which have come under our observation we note three particular references to the construction, variety, and definition of soul: One by Moses, one by Solomon, and one by Webster, each of which we shall refer to in its proper order. Webster defines it to be "the spiritual, rational, and immortal part in man - life, vital principle; that part of man which enables him to think, and which renders him a subject of moral government; - sometimes, in distinction from the higher nature or spirit of man, the so-called animal soul, that is, the seat of life, the sensitive affections and fantasy, exclusive of the voluntary and rational power; - sometimes, in distinction from the mind, the moral and emotional part of mans nature, the seat of feeling, in distinction from intellect; the understanding; the seat of knowledge, as distinguished from feeling." Thus Webster makes soul the embodiment, essence, warp and woof, of that which gives vitality to man: motive power, cause of development, reasoning capacity, ideas, judgment, memory, and determines the course of his actions, directs his mode of life, and constitutes him a self-acting institution.

Pages : 560
Book Description
"[This] magnificent critical survey, with its inherent respect for both the 'Westt's mainstream high culture' and the 'radically changing world' of the 1990s, offers a new breakthrough for lay and scholarly readers alike....Allows readers to grasp the big picture of Western culture for the first time." SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE Here are the great minds of Western civilization and their pivotal ideas, from Plato to Hegel, from Augustine to Nietzsche, from Copernicus to Freud. Richard Tarnas performs the near-miracle of describing profound philosophical concepts simply but without simplifying them. Ten years in the making and already hailed as a classic, THE PASSION OF THE WESERN MIND is truly a complete liberal education in a single volume.
