Michael Alberti

Michael Alberti (13 November 1682 – 17 May 1757) was a German pietist physician and theologian.

Alberti became an ardent follower of Stahl's school of medical theory which considered the soul as having control on the body.

Alberti was born in Nuremberg where his father Paul Martin was Protestant preacher.

Alberti also trained for the clergy at Altdorf[1] and in 1701 he published Modum dirigendi omnes actiones nostras ad gloriam Dei ("The Way to Direct All Our Actions to the Glory of God").

Stahl's teaching contrasted the iatromechanistic approaches that were in their infancy at the time.
