Life's form

late Aristotelian conceptions of the soul

Edición de la obra Life's form

"Dennis Des Chene explores how Western philosophers understood life and the soul in the early modern period - before Descartes radically changed how the universe was conceived. Life's Form is a detailed analysis of the often overlooked work of the Jesuit commentators on Aristotle whose writings dominated Western European science and the academy until the mechanistic revolution. Des Chene considers the work of scholastic writers such as Suarez and the Coimbrans, who provided thorough and sometimes profound studies of Aristotle's definitions of the soul and of life."--BOOK JACKET.
