Giordano Bruno (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161349979)

Giordano Bruno is a biographical book written by J. Lewis McIntyre that explores the life and work of the Italian philosopher and scientist Giordano Bruno. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Bruno's life, from his early years in Naples to his eventual trial and execution by the Catholic Church for heresy. The author delves into Bruno's philosophical and scientific ideas, which were often controversial and challenged the religious and intellectual norms of his time. Bruno's belief in the infinite nature of the universe and the existence of multiple worlds, as well as his rejection of traditional religious dogma, made him a target for persecution by the Church. McIntyre also explores the political and cultural context of Bruno's life, including the religious conflicts and intellectual debates of the Renaissance period. The book provides a nuanced and detailed portrait of Bruno's life and legacy, shedding light on the complex historical and intellectual forces that shaped his ideas and his fate. Overall, Giordano Bruno is a fascinating and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, science, and religion in the Renaissance period.This volume attempts to do justice to a philosopher who has hardly received the consideration he deserves. He is recognized by the more liberal-minded among Italians as the greatest and most daring thinker their country has produced. He has been recognized as the prophet, if not as the actual founder, of modern philosophy, and as one of the earliest apostles of freedom of thought and of speech in modern times. Part I of the book covers the life of Bruno; Part II his philosophy.
