Bruniana & Campanelliana. Ricerche filosofiche e materiali storico-testuali. XIV. 1. 2008

Bruniana & Campanelliana is an international journal of philosophy and textual study dedicated to culture from the High and Late Reinassance to the Early Baroque era. The Journal welcomes articles, unpublished or rare texts as well as short notice and archival material intended to clarify and document aspects of the development, activity and fortunes of Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) and Tommaso Campanella (1568-1639). Living in an age when the geocentric and anthropocentric view of reality was breaking up, Bruno and Campanella expressed in their dramatic life stories the need for wider horizons of knowledge and for a new relationship of man with nature and society during the tempestuous transition towards the modern world.The Journal, which welcomes also rewievs, news and bibliographical updates, provides an open forum for various interests and types of expertise, thereby contributing to the debate in Italy and abroad on these two writers, viewed against the background of Renaissance culture and tradition. Bruniana & Campanelliana is thus intended above all as a working tool to record, increase and promote research in the manifold areas on which the work of the philosophers converges and from which it radiates.
