Abstract
Greece is the land of “psyche” and “soma”, the land that has Worshipped mind and body as no other before or after. It is also the land of thousand-year-old philosophical concepts. “Psyche” and “soma” (but not their combination and this is significant!) have been everyday words in this country for over 3500 years. For almost the same period, they have also been philosophical terms. Ancient Greek thinkers have worked hard on these concepts in themselves and in their association to each other.
