The book offers a new reading of the debate on mind, body and matter with regards
to the largely uncharted territory of Galenic medicine in the Late Renaissance period.00In
spite of the commonly held opinion according to which Galen's authority was gradually
superseded by Vesalius and his followers, a close look at the influence that Galen's
psychological works exerted on physicians and philosophers of the early modern period
reveals quite a different picture. 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
