Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a scholarly edition of Claudianus Mamertus's three books defending the doctrine of the soul's incorporeality. It includes a critical apparatus, extensive commentary, and an introduction that places the work in its historical and literary context. Claudianus Mamertus (c. 400-473) was a Christian priest and bishop of Vienne. His treatise De Statu Animae stands as a testament to the vitality of Christian thought in Late Antiquity and to the profound influence of the philosophical ideas of Plato and other classical thinkers on the Christian understanding of the nature of the soul. This book reassesses the relationship between Claudianus Mamertus's work and its literary and philosophical sources while considering its place in the history of doctrine. At a time of great social and political change, when the Roman Empire was fragmenting and the Christian church attempting to define its orthodoxy, Claudianus argues that Christ's redemption of the body is not a purely physical promise but also includes the soul. His work includes a masterful synthesis of classical and Christian philosophy and offers profound insights into the nature of God, the soul, the body, and the afterlife. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
