It then delves into his philosophical ideas, which were heavily influenced by the works of Aristotle and Averroes.One of Pomponazzi's most significant contributions to philosophy was his rejection of the idea of the immortality of the soul. He argued that the soul was mortal and that it ceased to exist after death, a view that was controversial at the time.The book also explores Pomponazzi's ideas about psychology, including his theories about the nature of the human mind and the relationship between the mind and the body. Pomponazzi believed that the mind was a product of the physical brain and that mental processes could be explained through the study of physiology.Throughout the book, Douglas provides detailed analysis of Pomponazzi's ideas, drawing on a range of primary sources to offer a thorough understanding of his philosophy and psychology.

Edited by Charles Douglas and R.P. Hardie. An essay on Pietro Pomponazzi, the philosopher and founder of the Aristotelian-Averroistic School. His great work De immortalitate animi, gave rise to a storm of controversy between the orthodox Thomists of the Catholic Church, the Averroists headed by Agostino Nifo, and the so-called Alexandrist School. The treatise was burned at Venice, and Pomponazzi himself ran serious risk of death at the hands of the Catholics. Two pamphlets followed, the Apologia and the Defensorium, wherein he explained his paradoxical position as Catholic and philosophic materialist. His last two treatises, the De incantationibus and the De fato, were posthumously published in an edition of his works printed at Basel. Chapters: Aristotle in the Early Middle Ages; The Arabians and St. Thomas; Pomponazzi as an Aristotelian; Pomponazzi's Psychology; The Soul; Intelligence; Sense; Reason; Knowledge; The Nature of Virtue; and Natural Law in Human Life and Religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
