SAPERE XXXII: The Soul in the Cosmos

Introduced, translated and with interpretative essays by Manuel Baumbach, Matthias Becker, Reinhold F. Glei, Irmgard Männlein-Robert, Christoph Riedweg and Benjamin Topp. Ed. by Manuel Baumbach.

The enigmatic Homeric description of a grotto of nymphs leads Porphyrios to a fascinating interpretation in which the ways of the soul in the cosmos are explored, questions about its immortality are answered and insights into the intelligible world are given. In addition to the text and an annotated translation, the volume offers four interpretative essays from different professional perspectives.
