The Pre-Socratic Concept of the Soul

U ovome radu će se obraditi pitanje o konceptu duše od samog početka grčke filozofije do Sokrata. Predsokratovci su odbacili mitološke interpretacije o svijetu i razumski pokušali objasniti od čega sve nastaje te kako se dogaĎaju promjene u svijetu, stoga s njima počinje i europska filozofija. Jednako tako odbacuju rane interpretacije o tome što je to duša, odakle dolazi i kamo odlazi nakon smrti. Škole koje su se bavile takvim pitanjima su: miletska, pitagorejska, efeška (Heraklit), elejska (Parmenid), pluralistička i atomistička škola.In this final paper, the concept of the soul will be examined as expressed from the very beginning of Greek philosophical thought until Socrates. Pre-Socratics rejected mythical interpretations of the world and attempted to explain in a reasonable manner the origin of all matter and how the world changes; therefore, European philosophy begins with them. They also rejected early interpretations of the definition of the soul, where it comes from, and where it goes after death. Philosophical schools that dealt with this question are the following: Miletus, Pythagorean, Ephesian (Heraclitus), Eleanor (Parmenides), Pluralistic and Atomistic
