MASSIMI, Marina. Knowledge of himself in the autobiographical narrative of Girolamo Cardano. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2014, vol.20, n.2, pp. 334-352. ISSN 1677-1168. http://dx.doi.org/DOI-10.5752/P.1678-9523.2014v20n2p334.
The article discusses a very significant historical source in the autobiographical genre: the works of Girolamo Cardano (1501-1576), mathematician, astrologer and Italian thinker: Liber de propria vita and Liber de libris propriis physician. The aim is to analyze them through selfknowledge drawn on by the author. The analysis was conducted via the historical conceptual method: showing the main topics discussed and their meanings in the light of its historical and socio-cultural universe. The results point to the complexity of knowledge built on by the author and discussion of relevant aspects: the description of his physical and psychological characteristics (including dreams); the chain of events leading to his biographical history; the description of his complex personality constructed from an interpretation of himself in the light of identifying their fundamental motivations
