Gasparo Contarini Volgorde van de boeken

Gasparo Contarini was the first to write a critique of the treatise On the Immortality of the Soul by his teacher Pietro Pomponazzi. The future Cardinal claims that the human soul can be perfected during life with the body and that it is philosophically sound – and not only an article of faith – that the soul is immortal.

This book provides an alternative understanding to Machiavelli's Renaissance Italy.
