Fruhneuzeitliche Selbsterhaltung - Telesio Und Die Naturphilosophie Der Renaissance (German, Hardcover, Reprint 2013 ed.)

The study sets out to be both a history of the concept, self-preservation' in the Renaissance and to reconstruct the philosophy of Bernardino Telesio (1509-1588), the first to make this concept the central tenet of early modern nature philosophy and ethics. Telesio's thought is expounded in terms of the way it combines and enlarges on developments in Aristotelian philosophy and the medical thinking of Galen. The author further demonstrates how Telesio's, defensive modernization' became a catalyst for speculative philosophical developments in the late 16th century - Bruno, Patrizi, Stelliola, Campanella. Unlike the Cartesian conservatio sui tradition with its emphasis on 'perpetuation', the Renaissance idea of self-preservation revolves around sensualism, similarity and vibrant vitality.
