Bøger af Giordano Bruno

Giordano Bruno's notorious public death in 1600, at the hands of the Inquisition in Rome, marked the transition from Renaissance philosophy to the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century. In his philosophical works he addressed such delicate issues as the role of Christ as mediator and the distinction, in human beings, between soul and matter. This volume presents new translations of Cause, Principle and Unity, in which he challenges Aristotelian accounts of causality and spells out the implications of Copernicanism for a new theory of an infinite universe, and of two essays on magic, On Magic and A General Account of Bonding, in which he interprets earlier theories about magical events in the light of the unusual powers of natural phenomena.

Quindi l'ali sicure a l'aria porgo; / Né temo intoppo di cristallo o vetro, / Ma fendo i cieli e a l'infinito m'ergo. / E mentre dal mio globo a gli altri sorgo, / E per l'eterio campo oltre penetro: / Quel ch'altri lungi vede, lascio al tergo. Questo è il terzo dialogo filosofico che Giordano Bruno pubblica a Londra nel 1584, chiudendo il ciclo dei dialoghi cosmologici londinesi intrapreso con La cena de le ceneri e proseguito con De la causa, principio et uno. Sviluppando ulteriormente tematiche già iniziate in quelli, il rapporto fra un Dio immanente e un universo infinito da un lato, e la distinzione dei ruoli di teologia e filosofia dall'altro, il De l'infinito sancisce il punto definitivo di frattura del pensiero del filosofo sia con la dottrina aristotelica sia col cristianesimo.

Filippo Bruno, noto con il nome di Giordano Bruno, ? stato un filosofo, scrittore e frate domenicano italiano vissuto nel XVI secolo.? Che vi val, curiosi, il stud?are, / Voler saper quel che fa la natura, / Se gli astri son pur terra, fuoco e mare? // La santa asinit? di ci? non cura; / Ma con man gionte e 'n ginocchion vuol stare, / Aspettando da Dio la sua ventura.?(Cabala del cavallo pegaseo, In lode dell'asino)Cabala del cavallo pegaseo ? un'opera filosofica di Giordano Bruno in forma di dialogo pubblicata a Londra nel 1585 insieme a l'Asino cillenico in unico testo. Il titolo allude a Pegaso, il cavallo alato della mitologia greca nato dal sangue di Medusa decapitata da Perseo, mentre Cabala si riferisce a una tradizione mistica originatasi in seno all'ebraismo. La Cabala, che pu? considerarsi continuazione e conclusione del precedente Spaccio de la bestia trionfante, ? un'opera di satira morale nella quale bersaglio dell'autore sono le religioni rivelate, cristianesimo ed ebraismo

Giordano Bruno's most representative work, "Spaccio de la bestia trionfante", published in an atmosphere of secrecy in 1584, was singled out by the church tribunal at the summation of his final trial. This title provides an introduction to the philosopher who dared to voice his audacious theories of nature, religion, and history.
