As an illustration of this concept he explores how it can help to understand a vital element of William Wordsworth’s development as a poet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe word soul is both abstract and yet also powerfully emotive. \u003cb\u003eKennedy \u003c\/b\u003eshows that it can be approached from a number of different angles, from psychoanalysis, philosophy, religion, sociology, literature and neuroscience. \u003ci\u003eThe Psychic Home\u003c\/i\u003e, discusses the mysteries and complexities of the soul, and aims to evoke some restoration of its place in our thinking. It illustrates how the word soul and similar key words, such as spirit and inwardness, express so much that is essential for humans, even if we cannot be too precise about their meanings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInsightful, enlightening and broad reaching, \u003ci\u003eThe Psychic Home\u003c\/i\u003e brings the concept of the soul centre stage as an entity that is elemental, an essence, irreducible, and what makes us human as subjects of experience. It will be essential reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, neuroscientists, philosophers and those interested in spirituality and religion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54984225882456,"sku":"9780415710145","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415710145.jpg?v=1769107516","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/psychic-home-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
