Description: Selfhood and the Soul is a collection of original essays in honor of Christopher Gill, Emeritus Professor of Ancient Thought at the University of Exeter. The contributions cover a wide range of approaches and topics, but all are committed to examining central issues about the experience of being a person and the question of how best to live.

Review Quotes: "a hugely impressive collection of some of the finest scholarship at work on issues relevant to all of us." -- John Godwin, Classics for All

"Overall, Selfhood and the Soul represents a high-quality, rich collection, comprised of thoughtful explorations of identity, the self, and the good life, and it will be useful to philologists, philosophers, and historians of medicine alike. ... Selfhood and the Soul is an excellent volume, and will inspire in its readers a fascination with the same sorts of questions Christopher Gill spent his long career exploring." --Jeffrey Ulrich, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
