Giordano Bruno

Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) is famous for being a heretic and for endorsing the Copernican system of the planets. This book identifies his place in the Aristotelian tradition. Occasionally, Bruno taught Aristotle at universities, and great part of his philosophy is engaging in interpreting and correcting Aristotle. In discussing the history of philosophical theories Bruno showed that the thorough study of the history of philosophy generates philosophy. Paul Richard Blum is T.J.
