""Pathomachia: Or The Battell Of Affections: Shadowed By A Feigned Siege Of The City Pathopolis"" is a book written by Henry More and first published in 1887. The book is a philosophical allegory that explores the battle between the emotions and the intellect. The story takes place in the fictional city of Pathopolis, which is under siege by a group of rebels led by the emotions. The intellect, represented by the character Philoponus, leads the defense of the city, and a series of battles take place between the two sides. Throughout the book, More uses the characters and events to explore the nature of the human psyche and the struggle between reason and passion. The book is considered a classic of Renaissance literature and is often studied for its insights into the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
