BIBLIOGRAPHY

For pre-philosophical psychology the best starting points
are Erwin Rhode, Psyche: Seelenkult und Unsterblichkeits-
glaube der Griechen,
4th ed. (Tübingen, 1970; Engl. trans.
London, 1925); Bruno Snell, Die Entdeckung des Geistes,
3rd ed. (Hamburg, 1955), trans. as The Discovery of the
Mind
(Cambridge, Mass., 1953); E. R. Dodds, The Greeks
and the Irrational
(Berkeley, 1951). Texts of the pre-Socratics
are collected in H. Diels and W. Kranz, Die Fragmente der
Vorsokratiker,
6th ed. (Berlin, 1951-52). For an extended
treatment see J. I. Beare, Greek Theories of Elementary
Cognition
(Oxford, 1906). W. K. C. Guthrie, A History of
Greek Philosophy,
Vols. I, II (Cambridge, 1962, 1965) has
extensive notes and bibliography. For Plato the most im-
portant texts are Phaedo, Phaedrus, Philebus, Republic IV-
VII, X; Theaetetus, Timaeus. For bibliography see H.
Cherniss, Lustrum (1961), 340-82, and for recent discussion
I. M. Crombie, An Examination of Plato's Doctrines, Vol.
I (London, 1962). Aristotle's psychological theory is set out
in De anima, ed. Hicks (Cambridge, 1907) and Parva
naturalia,
ed. W. D. Ross (Oxford, 1955); general discussion
and bibliography in I. Düring, Aristotles (Heidelberg, 1966).
See also D. W. Hamlyn, De anima Books II and III, with
Certain Passages from Book I
(Oxford and New York, 1968).
Some basic texts for post-Aristotelian psychology are col-
lected by C. J. de Vogel, Greek Philosophy. A Collection
of Texts with Notes and Explanations,
Vol. III (Leiden, 1959).
Relevant works of Augustine are De trinitate, De liberio
arbitrio, De quantitate animae,
and of Plotinus, Enneads I,
1; IV. This period is well surveyed by E. Zeller, Die Philos-
ophie der Griechen,
Vol. III, 1, 5th. ed. by E. Wellmann
(Leipzig, 1923), and A. H. Armstrong, ed., Cambridge History
of Later Greek and Early Medieval Philosophy
(Cambridge,
1956).
