Marci, Johannes Marcus
Original language description
Marcus Marci was a Czech physician (the personal physician of the emperor Ferdinand III) and polymath who significantly contributed to medicine, mechanics, optics, and chiefly to philosophy. As a physician he supported Paracelsian views; he contributed to medicine through his studies on the nature of epilepsy and its treatment. In mathematics, he was attempting (without remarkable success) to deal with the quadrature of a circle. More important are his two writings on natural philosophy Idearum operatricium idea (Prague 1635) and Philosophia vetus restituta Pán en pantón sive Philosophia vetus restituta (Prague 1662, 2. ed. Leipzig 1676) in which he defended hylozoism against the Jesuit scholastics of his time. Although hylozoism was not an exceptional conception in Renaissance philosophy, due to his Prague scholastic opponent Arriaga, Marcus formulated and justified this teaching with greater conceptual accuracy than was usual among other hylozoists of this time.
