Giordano Bruno

Broschiertes Buch

The Expulsion of the Triumphant Beast

Spaccio Della Bestia Trionfante

Beschreibung

In this work of moral philosophy, Giordano Bruno condemns both the ancient and the modern worlds for filling their skies with bestial vices, and narrates a mythical drama of universal reform designed to replace them with their respective virtues.

Autor

Giordano Bruno (1548–1600), born Filippo Bruno, was an Italian Dominican friar, philosopher, mathematician, poet, and cosmological theorist. He is known for his cosmological theories, which conceptually extended the then-novel Copernican model. In addition to cosmology, Bruno also wrote extensively on the art of memory, a loosely organized group of mnemonic techniques and principles. Other studies of Bruno have focused on his qualitative approach to mathematics and his application of the spatial concepts of geometry to language.
