Description
This work, published by Francesco Sansovino, is presented as a translation of Aristotle's On the Soul (De Anima), but it is actually a compendium of Aristotelian psychology. The name of the translator is not explicitly mentioned, though it is assumed to be Sansovino himself. The work is conceived as a sort of introduction to Aristotle's Ethics. Aristotle viewed the soul as the essence or form of a living being, integral to its existence and inseparable from the body. Aristotle's approach was deeply biological, viewing the soul as the life force that animates the body, akin to a set of capabilities that define living organisms.
