Giglioni, Guido (Author)
"Totus homo semper afficitur." This sentence encapsulates Cardano's attitude towards the passions: man understood as a whole, including both mind and body, is unremittingly exposed to the rage of internal and external events and is inclined to react to them. Because of the pervasive nature of the affects, Cardano's directions on how to treat the passions intersect with metaphysics, ethics, medicine and rhetoric. By and large, his moral and medical agenda is equally distant from both a systematic 'medicalization' and a thorough 'rhetoricization' of the emotional and ethical life. It is his belief that the passions cannot be 'medicalized' because they cannot be entirely reduced to bodily states, but it is also one of his recurrent tenets that passions cannot be 'rhetoricized' either, that is, they cannot be manipulated in a totally arbitrary way because of an ineliminable residue of material opaqueness (the body) and an unsuppressible vestige of intellectual transparency (the mind's free will).
