About this title

Synopsis

Thomas Moore's books on the soul paint a picture of literate, sensitive, and artful human living. In The Education of the Heart, he presents many of the sources that influenced and inspired Care of the Soul, Soul Mates, and The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life, choosing special passages that show us how to cultivate our humanity. But this is not merely a sourcebook or an anthology; it's a manual for living from the heart.
Here we read the great teachers and writers of the past and present not just as representatives of historical periods but as vivid teachers who show us the way toward a richer, more spirit- and soul-filled life. The selections come from Greek tragedies and ancient magical texts; from the Renaissance philosophers so often mentioned in Moore's earlier books, such as Marsilio Ficino, Pico della Mirandola, Robert Fludd, and others; and from modern archetypal psychologists such as C. G. Jung and James Hillman. Moore has selected these passages not only for their brilliance in describing the soul but also for the beauty and power of their language.

In addition to his bestselling and pathbreaking book, Care of the Soul, he has published many articles in the areas of archetypal and Jungian psychology, mythology and the arts. His other books include The Planets Within, Rituals of the Imagination, Dark Eros and, most recently, The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life. He also edited A Blue Fire, an anthology of the writings of James Hillman.

As a young man, Moore lived in a Catholic religious order for 12 years; subsequently he worked as a musician, college professor and psychotherapist. He holds a doctorate in religious studies from Syracuse University, a MA in theology from the University of Windsor, and a BA in music and philosophy from DePaul University.
