On the Psyche: studies in literature, health and psychology<\/span><\/h1>\n

On the psyche: Studies in literature, psychology and health is an international conference to celebrate the work of Professor Christopher Gill and builds on his studies of the psyche and the self in the ancient world.<\/span><\/p>\n

In three impressive volumes he has integrated literary approaches with ancient psychology and medicine, from Homer and Plato to the Stoics and Galen. He has additionally addressed the question whether some of these approaches may contribute to improving our own lives and wellbeing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The conference presents papers on the development of the psyche from Homer to tragedy and Plato, on the underworld, on medical and philosophical debates on psychology ; on modern medical understanding of ancient wellbeing; on happiness, hope and truth, and freedom, and on Neoplatonic approaches to the self and the human relationship with the divine.<\/span><\/p>\n
