One of his most prominent works was “Three Books on the Soul and Life,” a collection of writings about the soul and its relationship to the body. The various pieces included therein reflect on functions of reproduction, senses, emotion, and memory, which have caused some to label him the father of modern empirical psychology (Casini, 497). Vives’ writing is also notable as somewhat of a challenge to the church, as he states the soul’s functions as more physical, rather than spiritual. Furthermore, he states that the soul is not revealed solely through introspection, but is something that is always concealed— informally challenging the church’s practice of confession (Casini, 502). Vives wasn’t the only humanist to critique the church. His friend Erasmus also wrote numerous satire pieces about the problems of following church doctrine, and how many chose to only obey it in parts. This criticism, in turn, may have eventually led to the Protestant Reformation— a revolutionary change in the state of world religion (Wiesner-Hanks, 141). Finally, a lot of Vives’ ideas built off Plato and Aristotle’s writings on the soul, meaning Vives' writing provides an important example of humanism— where various scholars studied classic writings and discussed the ideas in further detail. For instance, his definition of the soul as "...the principal agent that inhabits a body equipped for life" comes from a combination of Platonic and Aristotelian ideas (Casini, 503).
