Corps de Philosophie contenant la Logique, La Physique, La Métaphysique et l'Ethyque.

Rouen, Jean Baptiste Behourt, 1640.

More Details >

950 €

the "Corps de philosophie" or sometimes "Cours de philosophie" are more or less complete collections of the works of the Dupleix of which we know many editions.
Our copy, similar to that noted by Dorbon [1376], is composed as follows:
- "La Logique" in eight books.
- "Physics or science of natural things" in eight books.
- and the first eight books of the "The Metaphysics or supernatural science".

If the structure of this philosophy course is inspired by Aristotle's Compendium philosophiae as it was taught in all the faculties of the time. The content is very different and often deals with magic, sorcery of the angelic world. The Eighth Book of Physics is concerned with the soul, and the last parts of Metaphysics constitute a veritable treatise on Angels and Demons.
