Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Lediglich der Schutzumschlag am Buchrücken lichtbedingt leicht ausgeblichen, sonst ein sehr gutes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen / only the dust jacket slightly faded at the spine, otherwise a very good copy without markings. - 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. Life’s Form is not restricted only to questions relevant to the human case, such as the immortality of the soul. Des Chene analyzes what might be called the protobiology of late Aristotelians: the theory of living things in general, of their powers, and of the relation between soul and body in all organisms. His mastery of doctrinal subtlety offers insight into conceptual issues of renewed relevance to the philosophy of biology. / CONTENTS Preface Introduction I Data for the Study of Souls 1 Facts and Texts 1.1 The Living World 1.2 Operations 1.3 Structures 1.4 Variety and Order 2 Propositions to Be Held by Faith II Defining the Soul 3 Defining Life 3.1 The Obscure Life of Plants 3.2 Immanent, Intrinsic 3.3 Is ‘Life’ Univocal? 4 Soul as Form 4.1 Soul as Substance: Against Galen 4.2 Soul as Substantial Form 4.3 Which Body? 5 Soul as Principle Ill Powers and Parts 6 Living, Sensing, Thinking 6.1 Distinguishing Powers 6.2 Nutrition, Growth, and Generation 6.3 Touch 7 Is the Soul Distinct from Its Powers?
