A recent edition was published in 2024 by the Aquinas Institute. Beth Mortensen summarizes the significance of the text: "All of us living in this Cartesian age grow accustomed to thinking of our bodies as animated machinesmachines that function better or worse subject to innumerable material factors. De Anima On the Soul reminds us that the human person is one whole and the soul is actively making the body what it is. This means that among other things the quality of the bodys functioning does not determine a human beings 'quality of life' and it is completely irrelevant to that persons worth or dignity." see: aquinas institute - commentary on de anima. <br/><br/> Octaviani Scoti per Bonetus de Locatellis hardcover
