Spanish philosopher Vives (1492-1540) was considered an equal to Erasmus and Bude during his lifetime, but was quickly forgotten, and interest in him revived only during the 19th century, though not among English speakers until the middle 20th. Here scholars of philosophy and literature discuss aspects of his work such as his social and political thought, his contribution to rhetoric and dialectic, and his philosophical treatise on the soul De anima et vita.
