Pneumatology

PNEUMATOLOGIA

Italian original Cite

PNEUMATOLOGY. - From πνεῦμα (spirit) and λόγος (word-concept), it means the science of the spirit. An expression by now little or not at all used. Some authors call pneumatology that part of philosophy which studies spiritual realities (the human soul and God). Thus C. Wolff (Philosophia rationalis, § 79; Wolff, however, uses the term pneumatica) and J.G.H. Feder (Logik und Metaphysik, Leipzig 1769, p. 315).
