2 • Il funzionamento dell’anima: conoscenza, azione, ragione e volontà

Abstract

In the second chapter, the main psychological dynamics of knowledge and action are analysed through the study of the so-called ‘faculties’ of the soul: representation, assent, and impulse. The problem of the preconceptions of good and god is treated as well.
