First sentence: The intuitive feeling that man is something other than the strength of his limbs and the appearance of his physique, something that manifests itself as his thoughts and behaviour, is as old as Greek literature: in Homeric poetry (c.750 BC), thought (phrenes) and works, together with form and stature, make up the whole of the person.
