<p>Forms, Souls, and Embryos&#12288;allows readers coming from different backgrounds to appreciate the depth and originality with which the Neoplatonists engaged with and responded to a number of philosophical questions central to human reproduction, including: What is the causal explanation of the embryo's formation? How and to what extent are Platonic Forms involved? &#12288;In what sense is a fetus 'alive, '&#12288;and when does it become a human being?&#12288;&#12288; Where does the embryo's soul come from, and how is it connected to its body?&#12288;This is the first full-length study in English of this fascinating subject, and is a must-read for anyone interested in Neoplatonism or the history of &#12288;medicine and embryology.</p>
