The Book of the Mind: The Shift Towards the Subject in Patrizi and Comenius
Original language description
In his rhetoric, Augustine's metaphor of the "book of nature" works towards a full appreciation of the created world and the fight against gnosis. In Patrizi's and Comenius' use of this imagery, a similar tendency appears with respect to the human heartand intellect: Patrizi prefers the "book of the soul" to other human books, while Comenius even wishes to make its importance equal to both the Bible and Nature. This shift seems to be significant in the context of the Renaissance and the Early Modern Age, and culminates in Kant's "Copernican turn". The goal of this paper is to outline the history of the trope and to compare Patrizi's and Comenius' understanding of it.
