Not only were Galenists often keen to embrace the new anatomical discoveries, eventually they even contributed to shaping a series of new analytical, practical and experimental tools that started an in-depth transformation of the traditional rationale, with far-reaching and unexpected consequences in domains such as theory of matter, philosophical anthropology and medical experimentation. Through the lens provided by mental disease and its connection to the soul, a new concept of the body and the human animal ultimately emerges: a concept that accompanies the development of early modern ideas on subjectivity and the self.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fabrizio Bigotti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2503581617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782503581613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brepols Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Fabrizio Bigotti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450084667647,"sku":"9782503581613","price":107.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f7bd3ba-75cb-4197-b757-8fe887e67416.jpg?v=1777266152","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/physiology-of-the-soul-fabrizio-bigotti-9782503581613","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
