Medical Anthropology in the Late Middle Ages: Body, Soul, and the Virtues According to Peter of Abano

Matthew Klemm

4.9/5 (18136 ratings)

Description:This book considers the introduction of materialist and physiological reasoning into late medieval discourse on the soul in the work of Peter of Abano (d.1316); in this, it adds a vital component to our understanding of this important period in the history of medicine and of the philosophy of human nature. Peter was an influential physician and philosopher whose activities spanned from Paris to Padua to Constantinople, where he played a vital role in the appropriation of Greek and Arabic medical and natural philosophical sources in the Latin West. In his engagement with these sources, he sought a "reconciliation" (as his most famous work, the Conciliator, was titled) of medicine and philosophy. Through this reconciliation, Peter develops a rich description of the integration of physical and spiritual operations, and of physiological and mental capacities, leading him to discussions of imagination, moral virtues, and intellectual powers. Because Peter developed many of his ideas within a traditional medical framework, he created a distinctively "medical" anthropology. His unique understanding of human nature would remain influential for centuries to come.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
