Giordano Bruno: Cause, Principle and Unity (Paperback)

Paperback. Giordano Bruno's notorious public death in 1600, at the hands of the Inquisition in Rome, marked the transition from Renaissance philosophy to the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century. This volume presents new translations of Cause, Principle and Unity, in which he challenges Aristotelian accounts of causality and spells out the implications of Copernicanism for a new theory of an infinite universe, as well as two essays on magic, in which he interprets earlier theories about magical events in the light of the unusual powers of natural phenomena. A translation of Bruno's texts on causality and magic. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
