Essays on Giordano Bruno by Hilary Gatti
Gathers essays on the Italian Renaissance philosopher and cosmologist Giordano Bruno by one of the world's leading authorities on his work and life.
"Gatti's specific attention in giving an account of the different critical interpretations of Bruno's philosophy and of the status quo of current research makes this book a particularly worthwhile read for students and scholars of Bruno and of the sixteenth century in general"--Anna Laura Puliafito, Renaissance Quarterly "This book provides an important update to the scholarly dialogue on Bruno's science and the reception of his thought in subsequent centuries. Students of Bruno's thought will benefit most from the historiographic sections, while scholars of the intellectual history of the seventeenth through the late twentieth centuries will profit from the well-balanced assessment of Bruno's science that is just sufficient for understanding his reoccurring role as an intellectual pioneer."--David Porreca, Sixteenth Century Journal
Hilary Gatti taught for many years at the University of Rome, La Sapienza. Her books include "Giordano Bruno and Renaissance Science" and "The Renaissance Drama of Knowledge: Giordano Bruno in England". She is also the editor of "Giordano Bruno: Philosopher of the Renaissance".
