The author's course by Alexey Vasilyevich Lyzlov examines the history of European psychology from Homeric times to the end of the 18th century, that is, until the moment when psychology took shape as an independent discipline. The Science of the Soul takes the reader from a new perspective as we are introduced to profound insights into the nature of the human soul over nearly two thousand years of European history. The author especially dwells on views and practices that can enrich our understanding of human mental life and encourage us to think about issues that are relevant to us today. A lively and clear presentation of the material makes the book accessible to the widest range of interested readers.
