Thymos - or 'spirit' - is the third part of the Platonic triad of the soul. This book is an investigation into how this concept has been theorized philosophically, psychologically, politically and theologically by a selection of the most influential thinkers in Western history. Rage, courage, restraint, pride, ressentiment, heroism, overcoming bodily desires and unity are just a few of the vast phenomena, of which thymos is the central faculty of that experience. Beginning with Homer, then Plato, moving onto Hobbes, Freud, Nietzsche and finally Fukuyama. This text attempts to ground our understanding of our thymotic being, all in the hopes of putting us in a better position to tackle the possibility of overcoming our historical state as last men.
