SILVA, Paulo José Carvalho da. Anatomy of the soul between truth and knowledge. Rev. latinoam. psicopatol. fundam. [online]. 2011, vol.14, n.1, pp. 134-144. ISSN 1415-4714.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1415-47142011000100010.

Modern man considered himself lost in a world of illusion and in a multiplicity of objects, in search of a new guide. This article analyzes proposals for knowledge about the soul and the choice of methodology in the first modernity. The focus is on an analogy of the anatomy of the soul as a method for searching for knowledge about what the ego does not know, but which causes it, despite itself.
