论灵魂不朽

简介

Pomponazzi published this Latin treatise in Bologna in 1516. Three years earlier the Fifth Lateran Council had called on philosophers to defend the immortality of the soul. In fifteen chapters he weighs the positions of Averroes, who taught a single intellect, and Thomas Aquinas, who held the individual soul to be immortal, and concludes that Aristotle’s principles support neither: the human intellect always needs sense images, and so by natural reason it is mortal. Immortality is accepted on the authority of faith. The book was burned publicly in Venice; Pomponazzi answered critics with an “Apology” (1518) and a “Defence” (1519).
