Publication at Faculty of Arts |
2013

Abstract

The article offers an interpretation of famous city-soul analogy with the help of "natural" (fysei) capacities of soul parts and city classes. The article examines the natural "functions" (erga) of man and connects these erga (discussed by the end of book I) to human nature (fysis).
