Abstract
Agostino Doni was an Italian physician, philosopher, and heretic of the second half of sixteenth century. His work, De natura hominis (1581) is strictly related to the Italian context of the first novatores in the field of natural philosophy. He can be partly considered as a follower of Bernardino Telesio, partly as a freethinker of his own.
