Telesio’s notion of nature is the result of a very elaborate reflection on the ideas of vital autonomy, material substance, and sentience in all its many forms (including pleasure and pain). At its core we find the concept of life force (the natura agens) understood as the ultimate principle of change and differentiation in the universe. As is well known, Telesio grounds the possibility of a perpetually self-active force in the concept of natural sentience (sensus). In this article, I focus on one of the many meanings of sensus that can be found in Telesio’s work, that is, pain. This aspect of the layered notion of Telesian sentience has been less studied by specialists of Renaissance philosophy. I show how a specific locus in Hippocrates’s De natura hominis, already been interpreted by Galen, was used by Telesio to introduce a philosophical missing link to mediate the notion of immutable sameness of matter with that of natura agens as dynamic identity.
