The problem of the soul in classical and non -classical philosophy

The monograph by E.V. Mareeva presents an analysis of the problem of the soul, which is on the border of the interests of theology, psychology, ethics, classical and non -classical philosophy. The author shows the formation of the main interpretations of the soul and its immortality, which have taken shape in classical philosophy. The work in detailed analyzes analyzes adequate for philosophical classics the production of this problem with Socrates and the methodological contradictions that arose when it was solved by Aristotle and Aristotlers of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Particular attention is paid to the advantages of the position of transcendentalism, which became possible only on the basis of the consistent skepticism of D. Yum. The relevance of outlined approaches - philosophical idealism, naturally scientific materialism and cultural historical methodology - is shown on the example of modern disputes in psychology and philosophy.
The second circle in the study of the problem of the soul is associated with non -classical philosophy, the evolution of which is considered by the example of existentialism - at the stage of its emergence (S. Kirkegaard) The direction of this evolution, fragmenting the soul and reducing it to bodily acts, is shown against the background of the paradoxes of philosophical postmodernism (J.Deza).
The book is addressed to students and graduate students of philosophical and cultural specialties, as well as all the problems of the formation and development of spirituality in the Russian and European traditions
