The ethics of thinking in Heidegger, Bruno & Spinoza
No full textThe aim of the present work is to face Heidegger’s claim that philosophy has ended.
Facing this claim for us has not taken the form of creating a new method or positing a
new question but that of a search for anomalies in what Heidegger decrees as
finished, which is philosophy as metaphysics. In his historical confrontation with the
history of thought Heidegger seems to have left out, dismissed or forgotten those
authors who do not fit into his definition of metaphysics. We have chosen Giordano
Bruno and Baruch Spinoza, metaphysical thinkers who have undertaken a
philosophical practice that does not intend to demolish subjectivity but actually
begins without any need for it. The birth of the subject as grounding reality finds its
affirmation with Descartes and inaugurates modernity that, according to Heidegger,
exhausts philosophy and leads it into the arms of modern science and technology.
Bruno and Spinoza respectively precede and follow the birth of modernity and of
modern science, which they look at with an eye that is not that of the modern subject.
Following their different approaches to philosophy, we shall also explore their
relation to Renaissance Humanism, dismissed by Heidegger as a historical reiteration
of the Roman world, perceived as a perversion of the Greek origin of thought. We
shall show how hasty such a dismissal is. Our goal is to show not merely that
Heidegger is wrong but that if Western thinking contains the seeds of its own end, it
also contains the ones of a different understanding of the Western world and its
achievements. The three authors will engage on the grounds of ontology, gnosiology
and ethics and yet we have defined the whole enterprise of this work as an ethics
overall. An ethics of thinking is a practice of thought that wishes to envisage the
possibility for Western man of inhabiting his own world by understanding himself
not as an isolated subject and master of nature but as the place where the unity and
multiplicity of nature come to be thought at the same time
The Trial of Giordano Bruno
No full textIn 1600, Giordano Bruno, one of the leading intellectuals of the Renaissance, was burned at the stake on the charge of heresy by the Roman Inquisition. He is remembered primarily for his cosmological theories, particularly that the universe was infinite with the Earth not being at its centre. Today, he has become a symbol of the struggle for religious and philosophical tolerance.
The Trial of Giordano Bruno, originally published in Italian in 2018, provides English audiences with a complete and updated reconstruction of the inquisitorial trial by analysing the accusations, witnesses, and legal proceedings in detail. The author also gives a detailed profile of Bruno as well as the body which arrested and accused him – the Inquisition.
This book will appeal to all those interested in the life and death of Giordano Bruno, as well as those interested in Early Modern legal proceedings, the Roman Inquisition, and the history of religious and philosophical tolerance

I volti dell'essere. Philautia e vinculum amoris in Giordano Bruno
No full textL'articolo ricostruisce come la nozione di legame costituisca un elemento apparentemente ultimo della filosofia di Giordano Bruno, sul piano del lessico e, al tempo stesso, originario nella sua dimensione concettuale. Muovendo dal problema delle attrazioni fisiche e dalla ripresa e riformulazione in senso infinitista del problema platonico della dissolubilità o indissolubilità dei mondi, dai dialoghi italiani, agli ultimi manoscritti magici, passando per le opere latine, il saggio mostra come Bruno cali la specifica riflessione sui vincula dell’ultima fase della sua produzione, nella prospettiva fisico-cosmologica, piscologico-politica e ontologica, già elaborata in precedenza. Il saggio muove lungo queste tre linee di ricerca, ricostruisce le riformulazione e trasposizioni a cui Bruno sottopone la nozione di legame, osservando come egli ponga un’analogia strutturale tra le dinamiche di attrazione sul piano fisico, su quello psicologico-politico e, infine, ontologico
