Giordano Bruno: ein Komet fliegt durch Galaxien der Bedeutungand Emotions

Elisabeth Blum
Loyola University in Maryland, dept. of Philosophy

Giordano Bruno's philosophy is the heroic attempt at creating a universal system of knowledge under the conditions of an infinite universe and, accordingly, an actual infinity of information. While embracing a certain relativism, Bruno opposes the Early Modern tendency towards skepticism. His philosophy of nature (natural magic) is pre-modern, but his theories of knowledge and of language (of finding and constructing truth) have lost nothing of their fascinating freshness.
