Francesco Buonamici (1533 – 29 September 1603) was an Italian philosopher, professor at the University of Pisa and writer who wrote about his ideas on motion in a treatise called De Motu.
He read classical Greek texts including the works of Aristotle and became a teacher of philosophy at the University of Pisa in 1565 and a full professor in 1571.
Buonamici did not accept that elements were intermediate forms of substances, and like Aristotelians he believed that the dynamics of motion were related to composition.
Buonamici wrote on food and nutrition in a 1603 book De alimenti essentia which covered human growth.
Buonamici, in his treatise, examined cosmology, movement and his version of God was an entity that eternally contemplated itself without relation to human events.
