Giordano Bruno was burnt at the stake in Rome in 1600, accused of
heresy by the Inquisition. His life took him from Italy to Northern
Europe and England, and finally to Venice, where he was arrested.
His six dialogues in Italian, which today are considered a turning
point towards the philosophy and science of the modern world, were
written during his visit to Elizabethan London, as a gentleman
attendant to the French Ambassador, Michel de Castelnau. He died
refusing to recant views which he defined as philosophical rather
than theological, and for which he claimed liberty of expression.
The papers in this volume derive from a conference held in London
to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Bruno's death. A number
focus specifically on his experience in England, while others look
at the Italian context of his thought and his impact upon others.
Together they constitute a major new survey of the range of Bruno's
philosophical activity, as well as evaluating his use of earlier
cultural traditions and his influence on both contemporary and more
modern themes and trends.
