The concepts of esteem and self-esteem are fundamental to understanding human emotions, ethics and psychology and are closely linked to ideas about respect and dignity. Latterly they have come to play a central role in contemporary debates about well-being and mental health. Yet despite having deep roots, the philosophical history of esteem and self-esteem has been largely neglected.In this authoritative and wide-ranging collection, a distinguished and international roster of philosophers examine esteem and self-esteem in historical perspective and covering western and non-western traditions and thinkers. Comprising twenty-seven chapters, the volume is divided into eight clear parts:From Poetry to PhilosophySelf-Knowledge and the Normative Foundations of Self-Esteem in Classical Greek PhilosophyInteriority and the Transformation of Selfhood in Hellenistic and Late Antique PhilosophyCross-Cultural Perspectives on Esteem and Self-CultivationReputation, Virtue, and Moral Theology in the Medieval WorldEarly Modern Moral Psychology and the Social Dynamics of EsteemGender and the Politics of Self-WorthEsteem, Community, and Modern Social Theory.Esteem and Self-Esteem in the History of Philosophy will be valuable reading for students and researchers in the history of philosophy, ethics and political philosophy, as well as related areas such as history and sociology.

The volume analyzes the natural philosophical accounts and debates concerning the vegetative powers, namely nutrition, growth, and reproduction. While principally focusing on the early modern approaches to the lower functions of the soul, readers will discover the roots of these approaches back to the Ancient times, as the volume highlights the role of three strands that help shape the study of life in the Medieval and early modern natural philosophies. From late antiquity to the early modern period, the vegetative soul and its cognate concepts have played a substantial role in specifying life, living functions, and living bodies, sometimes blurring the line between living and non-living nature, and, at other moments, resulting in a strong restriction of life to a mechanical system of operations and powers. Unearthing the history of the vegetative soul as a shrub of interconnected concepts, the 24 contributions of the volume fill a crucial gap in scholarship, ultimately outlining the importance of vegetal processes of incessant proliferation, generation, and organic growth as the roots of life in natural philosophical interpretations.
