Selbstbewusstsein in Der Spätantike: Die Neuplatonischen Kommentare Zu Aristoteles ""de Anima (Quellen Und Studien Zur Philosophie) (German Edition) German edition

The three ancient commentaries on Aristotle's On the Soul (De anima) are interesting because the commentators, as neo-Platonists, understand the soul completely differently than Aristotle. For them, the soul is the inseperable life principle of the body, a spiritual entity. In response to this challenge, the commentator Priscian (ca. 530 AD) develops the most detailed antique theory of human self-consciousness, which is reconstructed here for the first time.
