Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Composed as a sequence of dialogues interlaced with sonnets, emblems, and philosophical commentary, The Heroic Enthusiasts (1585) transforms the language of Petrarchan love into an account of the soul's arduous ascent toward truth. Bruno rejects merely courtly desire, presenting 'heroic frenzy' as an intellectual passion that drives the mind beyond sensible beauty toward the infinite. The work belongs to late Renaissance Neoplatonism, yet its restless, dialectical prose and compressed lyric allegories make it a daring meditation on knowledge, imagination, and divine excess. Giordano Bruno, a former Dominican friar from Nola, was by 1585 an itinerant philosopher in England, already notorious for his arts of memory, anti-Aristotelian polemic, and cosmology of innumerable worlds. His experience of exile and controversy informs this book's central figure: the seeker who risks social and spiritual security for a vision too vast for convention. Bruno's own pursuit of an infinite universe here becomes inward drama and poetic discipline. Readers interested in Renaissance philosophy, mystical poetics, or the history of intellectual freedom will find The Heroic Enthusiasts indispensable. It is challenging, but richly rewarding: a book for those who believe eros, thought, and courage may converge in the search for the highest good. 120 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -In 'The Heroic Enthusiasts,' Giordano Bruno presents a philosophical dialogue that intertwines themes of love, truth, and the quest for knowledge. Written in the late 16th century, this work exemplifies Bruno's unique blend of Renaissance humanism and Neoplatonism, characterized by its rich, poetic language and dynamic character exchanges. As the titular 'heroic enthusiasts' navigate their discussions, they grapple with profound metaphysical and ethical questions, reflecting the era's tension between emerging scientific thought and traditional dogma. Bruno's bold arguments challenge the boundaries of contemporary philosophy, envisioning a universe driven by an infinite love and a divine intellect that transcends Aristotelian constraints. Giordano Bruno was a visionary philosopher and cosmologist whose life was marked by his radical ideas and relentless pursuit of truth. Born in Nola, Italy, in 1548, Bruno became a key figure in the intellectual revolution of his time, advocating for heliocentrism and a pluralistic universe. His experiences, including conflicts with ecclesiastical authorities, profoundly influenced his writings, particularly 'The Heroic Enthusiasts,' where he articulates his belief in the power of the human spirit to transcend ignorance and embrace a broader cosmic understanding. This captivating text is recommended for anyone interested in the intersections of philosophy, science, and spirituality during the Renaissance. Bruno's eloquent prose and thought-provoking discourse invite readers to reflect on their own understanding of love and knowledge, making it a significant contribution to both literary and philosophical traditions.…
