Anima and animus according to the Dictionary of Ambrogio Calepino.
This paper examines the notion of anima
and animus in a dictionary that was an intellectual reference during the
sixteenth century: the Dictionarium (1502, editio princeps) of Ambrogio
Calepino. The textual sources used by the author will be analyzed, as well as what
meaning(s) these two terms have in this lexicon (for example, anima as
the principle of life, animus as the principle of consciousness), and what
Greek or Latin philosophical traditions it is building upon. A note will also
be made regarding the translation of these two terms (‘soul’, ‘life’, ‘vital
breath’; ‘spirit’, ‘consciousness’, ‘mind’, ‘will’, ‘mood’).
Keywords: anima, animus,
Calepino, consciousness, mind, life.

“Judging without Error” according to Joan Lluís Vives

This paper draws attention to an issue that
preoccupied Joan Lluís Vives (1492/93–1540) quite frequently, namely the right
assessment of reality (“incorrupte iudicare”, to judge without error) and,
related to this, the attainability or unattainability of truth. Special emphasis
is given to the process of approving or disapproving a certain reasoning, to the
sources that can provide trustworthy information, to the dual role that
emotions play, and to the potential influence from the Skeptical tradition.
According to Vives, the fact that the mind aims for, and thinks about, items which
cannot be realized in this life may be proof of an afterlife.
Keywords: emotion, error, judgment, truth.
