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.
