Transmigrating Soul Between the Presocratics and Plato

Vojtěch Hladký
Department of Philosophy and History of Science, Faculty of Science, Charles University, Prague

The article discusses the nature of transmigrating soul in the early Greek thought, most notably in the thought of Empedocles and Philolaus. It argues that, in general, soul was conceived as a kind of subtle 'matter'. The turning point Plato who strive to guarantee soul's immortality by connecting it with transcendent, but also immaterial Forms. This accentuates the intellectual character of soul, and this holds also in eschatological context, but at the same time transforms the categories in which we tend to think about it until today.
