This volume is the first collection of essays exploring the origin of the concept of the world soul (anima mundi) in Antiquity and beyond. It features 14 original contributions from specialists in ancient philosophy, the Platonic tradition, and the history of theology. The topics covered range from the 'obscure' Presocratic Heraclitus to Plato and his ancient interpreters in Middle and Neoplatonism (including the Stoics), as well as the reception of the idea of the world soul in the history of natural science.
