Bruno, Giordano : (1548-1600), Italian astronomer, mathematician, philosopher. Frightened by the truth of his pronouncements the Inquisition (q.v.) burnt him alive.
... certain form of art always crowns a great cultural period. Yet it is little known that another current in the movement was the rediscovery of hermetism and magic, as shown in Frances Yates’ essay Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition and some of her other publications. She writes: “It cannot, I think, be sufficiently emphasized that these two Renaissance experiences [the intellectual and the magical]... their appeal to different sides of the human mind.” 376 Marcello Ficino, who translated Plato, and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola were not only erudite classicists, they were also magicians, as was Giordano Bruno, who was burned for it at the stake in the year 1600. On the contrary, Desiderius Erasmus, Thomas More and John Colet, among many others, were literary humanists. Pico made the difference clear ...

You know perhaps that Satprem was born on Giordano Bruno street in Paris. Bruno, a sixteenth-century Italian philosopher who regarded God as the unity reconciling spirit and matter, was burned at the stake by the Inquisitors for his belief. Satprem saw the backs ...

... First, we see that in the past it has often stood in the way of the development and growth of philosophy and science.

... entire month and a half I remained in a state of stupor. I was being born a second time – to what I didn't know, since I was no longer the same person who had once seen the light of day on rue Giordano Bruno. Though I was without a doubt the person who had died in a certain Gestapo cave. I packed my bag and took the night train for Cairo. Was it fortuitous that it was on a February 21, 1946, the... gropings and stammerings of a new species, those cries of triumph and heartbreaks should in no way fall in the clutches of a new Church. A difficult battle ensued, one that need not be told here. Giordano Bruno was stubborn, and so am I. Today, happily, there is no more burning at the stake, but there are still assassins in canyons. And I think there are assassins everywhere, as my brother Rimbaud had... clearheaded at the same time? Never has a single “thought” or abstraction impelled me. I am Breton and a sailor, and I like the open seas, the sea bulls, though I was born in Paris, on rue Giordana Bruno (a heretic stubborn enough to be burned at the stake). Things were off to a good start. But on the roads of Afghanistan I kept recalling Malraux: “Let others mistake a surrender to chance for that ...

... expensive scientific search, and quite useful for its promotion, lingers the curiosity whether there is life elsewhere in the universe. The ancient Greek philosophers already asked the question; Giordano Bruno answered it positively, and so did Fontenelle, in his Entretiens sur la pluralité des mondes during the Enlightenment, and the French astronomer Camille Flammarion in the 19th century. The ...

The spectacular twentieth century with the dawning awareness of the unity of the one Earth was foreseen long before Leonardo da Vinci, 91 as long before Giordano Bruno, Johannes Kepler, Erasmus, Mercator, Vesalius, Christiaan Huygens and Galileo Galilei the coming was foreseen of the being that would be the fulfillment and at the same time the surpassing of man ...
... the Truth. The reason of the divergence of science and spirituality was no other than the narrow dogmatism of the Catholic Church at the time of the post-Renaissance. The burning at the stake of Giordano Bruno and the condemnation of Galileo Galilei will forever remain emblematic of Rome’s sectarian, dogmatic attitude. “It is not impossible to foresee the development in which the two will unite in a ...
