Book Synopsis
Puzzled by medicine's abject failure to find a cure for the plague, the author developed a theory of human nature as the foundation for her modern holistic philosophy of medicine. She posited a dualism that accounted for mind/body interaction. She argues that the brain controls the body.

Trade Review

"Explores a diverse range of moral, ethical, philosophical, medical, and sociopolitical concerns. . . . With this English translation, Mary Ellen Waithe, Maria C. Vintro, and C. Angel Zorita have brought new life to this richly detailed and complex medico-philosophical treatise."--Isis


“I cannot imagine an English translation more carefully prepared than this one, which fully anticipates the difficulties and estrangement faced by a contemporary readership.”--Bulletin of Spanish Studies
