Description
Summary:The article focuses Sap 8,19-20 with the aim of drawing an assessment of the underlying anthropological pattern. The recent scholarship, in the last fifty years, has given different interpretations concerning the relationship between soul and body, namely the binomial σῶμα – ψυχή. Having drawn the status quaestionis, it appears clear that scholars are divided by the interpretation of the anthropological model to which pseudo-Salomon refers. Some believe that Sap 8,19-20 reflects the dichotomic model of ellenistic thought; others connect it to the biblical anthropology. Philological analysis leads to the conclusion that the author chooses a third anthropological model, which is built on the biblical basis, but with significant variations: the binomial σῶμα – ψυχή describes the whole man in two respects and has a finalistic feature on the background of divine creation. Moreover, jewish anthropological monism was not able to express the transcendence of human being, that in this third model is connected to the ψυχή, component which summarises reasoning and emotion.
