| Résumé: | The religious, theological and philosophical discourse in Late Antiquity concerning the human soul, the Greek psuche, reveals a sophisticated and complex psychological language that was aimed at conceptualizing and articulating the act of conversion. The analysis of Gnostic, Orthodox Christian, and Neoplatonic writings in relation to the psuche shows the cardinal role that this term played in formulating individual processes of mental transformation. Attributing active agency, mutability and relational aspect to the individual psuche turned it into a unique conceptual device, necessary to define anew the human condition. |
