The best of all possible worlds : a story of philosophers, God and evil in the Age of Reason

by S. Nadler

This study explores how the physical body emerged in ancient Greece as an object of knowledge and selfhood. Analysing medical and literary texts from the sixth to fourth centuries BCE, it examines how changing views on symptoms reshaped concepts of suffering and the soul.
