Hildegarda de Bingen. La tensión cuerpo-alma y la personalidad humana

Abstract

This work analyses a number of texts of the medical book Physica, by Hildegarde of Bingen (1098- 1179), in which we can see some relatiosships between the natural medicaments (plants, animals and minerals) that operate on the body on certain psychophysical morbid states produced by diabolical influence. These texts show an anthropological tendency that guides to a more integrating vision of the relationships soul-body as constitutive elements of the human personality.
