This article seeks to return to the corpus of knowledge of the sixteenth century, a time understood as the Era of similarities, second reading of Michel Foucault. We are interested in the approximation of the practical order of the period - rich in signs and spellings - in order to pause in its proper conception of the world - rich in symbology. In this analysis, the Renaissance world will be involved in an intensification of the ordination exercise, governed by forms according to which similarities become known: the so-called figures of similarities - signatura, convenientia, aemulatio, analogia and simpatia. In addition, adhering to a background of general configuration, the notion of circle as a figurative referential will be emphasized, which can be understood in the understanding of the general space of Renaissance knowledge. From the notion of circle we shall refer to the practice of circulation of similarities, and through this we shall indicate a Renaissance world deciphered or interpreted according to an exhaustible network, within the limits of the circular orbits emanating from the adjustment of similarities. In practice, the use of a symbolic marking - inclusive, extended to the cosmic dimension - enables us to visualize an arrangement of how, through the ordering of knowledge, certain dispositions are promoted "between" and "for" things and people in the world.
The present article aims to sketch a parallel between two works of political philosophy: the unfinished pamphlet "From the Kingdom or Government of the Princes to the King of Cyprus" by St. Thomas Aquinas, and the well-known "The Prince" by Niccolo Machiavelli. The collation of texts allows direct approximations between two distant philosophical moments through the similar theme, through the philosophical treatment of the classical tradition, and through the subtlety of the argument that relates the common good to the private, in the political relations. The analysis is divided into two thematic parts: the definition of ruler, and the characteristics of his craft. In Thomas, the influence of Aristotelian politics is articulated with the way in which the private purpose of the ruler is established in a hierarchy of ends that justifies the government and is directed to the common good. In Machiavelli there is a different reception of ancient thought, connected with Roman rhetoric, and a hierarchy of ends, which is directed, similarly to the Tomasian, for the common good, but with a different treatment as to how public good relates to the private good of both the ruler and the people subjected to him. From this comparison we conclude that there is a need to establish the complexity of political philosophy in the passage from the middle ages to the renaissance that removes the idea of a total rupture and allows us to understand how the modern age keep medieval elements and develops them much more than abandon them.
Leonardo Bruni (1370-1444), chancellor and historian, is the author of one of the main praises of the city of Florence of this period. In writing to Laudatio florentinae urbis (1403-1404), the humanist describes Florence and its government as a well-ordered, beautiful, wholesome, free and participatory city. The paper analyzes this text not only as a rhetorical piece, but highlights the republican ideals of freedom, self-government and citizenship. From an institutional point of view, Laudatio offers the foundations of mixed government, which would become a central aspect of Renaissance republicanism. From the ancients, Bruni removes the idea of the division of powers from the classic triad monarchy, aristocracy and democracy, with the separation of functions in each of these pure forms. Bruni points out that both aspects of antiquity can be found in the Florentine institutions of his time, in such a way that he observes in the historical fact the realization of an ancient political theory, complementing, therefore, the idealization of the city.
By dynamically adapting good examples, accommodating these to the needs imposed by circumstances, Machiavelli reverberates multiple uses of imitatio from ancient and Renaissance authors. Imitation renovates ancient Virtù in civil practices and attitudes, providing encouragement for fulfilling political actions and pedagogical practices, as Machiavelli's role as secretary of Florence and his political, historical and literary writings attest. Thus, after reviewing the notion of imitatio, specifically in antiquity and renaissance, Machiavelli's arguments about the possibility of humans reaching Virtù are contextualized in the 'Discorsi, Prince, in Florentine Histories and the Art of War', specifically in the proposals to imitate the appropriate actions. Hence, investigations and analyzes of the past produces utility and delight, enhancing the 'flavor of human actions'. Consequently, Machiavelli's writings assure the impossibility of a predetermined definition among possible multiple options (ambiguity) as well as support the possibility to simultaneously choose two, apparently antagonistic, perspectives (ambivalence).
In this article we intend undertake a reading of ancient judaism, or veterotestamentary, in some of its main aspects, in contrast to the Machiavellian view of the role of religion in the organization and expansion of the State. The first step of this enterprise will be given by exposing the founding and delineanting features of the ancient Jewish tradition, especially in the books that make up the so-called Old Testament, demonstranting the using of religion in the ordination and expansion of the State, as well as in the formation of the individual. In a second moment we will demonstrate how to create a new Jewish tradition, influenced and influential on the ancient Greek world, early in the Christian era which will be assimilated and explored in its mystical bias in Renaissance humanism. This Hellenistic Judaism tradition will be best known and assimilated in the European erudite circles of the Renaissance. Finally, we will try to demonstrate how the constitutive features of ancient Judaism, to the detriment of Hellenistic Judaism, can be read in the light of Machiavellian description of the role of religion in the organization and expansion of the State and the formation of the individual.
The work 'De revolutionibus orbium coelestium' (1543) installed the foundation stone of a mentality that conceived a new rationality model. The heliocentric hypothesis devised by Nicolas Copernicus has entered the contemporary narrative as one of the battles fought against medieval cosmology, which translates into a confrontation with the socio-political hegemony that the Catholic Church projected on the most decisive questions of humanity. Nevertheless, cosmology, seen through a hermeneutic gaze proposed by Ernst Cassirer, allows us to suspend the ascending condition of history in order to direct our attention to the neoplatonic, Pythagorean and Gnostic filiation of certain qualities that finally played in favour of the acceptance of the new image of the world. These doctrines were key in the articulation of that new cosmology, and nevertheless, our modernity has not known how to recognize its contributions to what could be a history of ideas. For these reasons we will relate the work with some cosmological precepts in the epistemological context of the Renaissance, which will shed light on certain unknown areas of the work, and also, why not, on certain unknown areas of the spirit of our modernity.
"This book is an enquiry into memory in the Western world. Specifically, memory is the framework of culture, because it links the present to the past--or tradition--and projects it into the future. For this reason, any work focusing on memory involves a double challenge: (1) to reveal the origin of concepts and (2) to glimpse the course of thoughts. This is the case of the present volume, in which the authors make several tastings of Europe's intellectual heritage, by taking into account both the Greek origin of this legacy and its relevance for understanding the European philosophical heritage. In particular, these papers focus on the Aristotelian tradition, the true keystone of Europe, and on other currents of thought that have also played an essential role in the intellectual evolution of the Old Continent. In the latter field, there are contributions, for instance, on philosophical-religious traditions such as Orphism or on certain fundamental aspects of Neoplatonism both in the Classical World and in Christian authors. The volume concludes with various works on the survival of these intellectual trends from the Renaissance to the present day. Consequently, this work offers the opportunity to delve deeper into some of the aspects that define Western civilisation, observed both from its origin and its evolution over the centuries. The volume contains papers in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and English."--
In the paper, we will study Olavo de Carvalho's thought, focusing on his position regarding Brazilian and American Black movement in its struggle for reparation in terms of colonialism-slavery-racism. We will argue that his refusal of any reparatory praxis to political-cultural minorities and his position of a non-place for Black-African traditions in the context of Western culture/civilization, as with respect to his defense of the inferiority of Black-African culture-civilization when compared to Jewish-Christian, Greek-Latin and Medieval-Renaissance tradition, is pervaded by a dualist metaphysics with a highly anti-modern and anti-modernizing character, in which the dynamic of streamlining of "human drama about universe and eternity" is constituted (a) by the struggle between natural necessity (Behemont) and individual consciousness (Leviathan), that can only be won by the correlation of divine grace given by Jesus Christ and personal direct and immediate interiorization and intuition by each individual with God; (b) by the refusal of politics, history and intersubjective action as basically materialism and, in this sense, as the sphere of totalitarian political ideologies (to which Enlightnment modernity is the biggest example); and, finally, (d) by the centrality of spiritualism, of intimate and direct relation between God and man, mediated by Revelation, which points to the non-existence, in the Olavo de Carvalho' thought, of objective parameters to rational discussion, interaction and justification - that is the reason of his delegitimation of science, politics, history and macro-structural institutional action, and his appeal to methodological, intuitionist and spiritualist individualism.
Giordano Bruno an agitator of libertarian consciences By: Manuelita Sánchez Ortiz and Wilson Sánchez Jiménez Giordano Bruno was born four years after the death of Camillo, in 1548. He entered the Dominican order in 1563. Educated in the Dominican convent of Naples, his education must have included an intense concentration on the art of memory, as congested, mergers and complications that in that tradition had grown to the lee of the ad herenianos precepts, as we found them in the treaties of Romberch and Rosellius, they entered in troel in the brunianos books on the memory. According to the words that, taking them from Bruno's own lips, noted the librarian of the abbey of Saint Victor de Paris, Bruno was already known as an expert in memory before leaving the Dominican Order (Yates, 2005). The philosopher Giordano Bruno, ruminated in the monasterial silence of the stone abbeys, all the fundamental texts of the classical period of the luminous Greece; During years of rigorous reading and spiritual retreats, he devoted himself to studying in depth, all the broad ethical, physical and logical theory of the ancient tradition, thereby achieving shake the theological postulates of the establishment of the church institution (the Catholic Church). The expulsion of Giordano Bruno from the Dominica order, indicated as a heretic; his persecution and subsequent condemnation of the fire, by the high hierarchies of the church, leaves in evidence the dogmatism and the violent exercise of this institution on those who affirmed at that time a different conception of the world. Bruno's death, to this day, continues to demonstrate to the whole world that hegemonic discourses abrogate the power to make people live and die, to impose the notion of truth about minorities on majorities, and this remains a constant in the relations of power that the powerful have imposed in blood and fire on peoples throughout the planet. The death of Giordano Bruno shows the censorship carried out by the Catholic Church in the sixteenth century against those philosophers, scientists, scholars and others, who went against the hegemonic pretensions of the Church and who questioned the value judgments issued by this institution allied with the ruling powers as we can see in the book Giordano Bruno: The art of memory, cited above. Angel J. Cappelletti in the prologue to the book "On the infinite universe and the worlds" shows some features of Giordano Bruno's personality: "Bruno praises, undoubtedly, in Copernicus the heliocentric conception, but reproaches him for not having extracted all the consequences cosmological that, according to its own interpretation, must be extracted from it. Consequently, with a certain very Renaissance impudence, which shelters itself only in poetic quotations and rhetorical considerations, it then makes an unconditional praise of itself, and of philosophy itself: "Behold he who has embraced the air, penetrated the sky , traveled the stars, crossed the limits of the world, made disappear the fantastic walls of the first, octaves, novenas, tenths and other spheres that could have been added, according to the opinions of vain mathematicians and the blind vision of vulgar philosophers ". He opened the cloisters of truth, undressed the hidden nature, gave sight to the blind, let go of the mute, made the lame of the spirit walk. For him we know that if we lived on the Moon or in the stars we would not inhabit a better world but perhaps worse than this one. Thanks to him we know the existence of thousands of stars axis that contemplate the universal, eternal and infinite efficient; our reason is not already imprisoned by the crickets of fantastic mobiles and motors; we know that there is only one immense heaven, in which the stars move and participate in perpetual life. We discover, with him, the infinite effect of the infinite cause and we learn not to seek far from us the divinity, which is within us and closer to us than ourselves. (Bruno, 1584) The teacher Angel J. Cappelletti is surprised of some passages of Bruno, in relation to the idea of the same universe that the philosopher maintained, that is to say, a series of bold but logical consequences, reflected in the following lines in you of Cappelletti: The universe, insofar as it is formed by a single soul, it constitutes a whole or, to put it better, an animated whole. The universe is, then, a great and sacred animal: animal, because endowed with self-movement and life; great, because it includes all beings in itself and fills all possible spaces; sacred, because his soul, that is, the being of his being, is God. Moreover, all the things that make up the universe are endowed with soul and life, since in all of them there is a form that is the beginning of its own movement. "Everything is full of gods," Bruno might have exclaimed, as, it is said, Thales exclaimed. "There are also gods here", he could have responded to the objections of his adversaries, as Heraclitus exclaimed, inviting his visitors to approach the fire. "Anything, however small and minimal," Bruno says, "has in itself a part of spiritual substance, which, if it finds the subject disposed, develops in plant or animal and receives the members of a body that, for what is common is called animate: because spirit is found in all things and there is no minimum corpuscle that does not contain in itself a part that animates it " (Bruno, 1584) The cosmological postulates of Bruno, beyond being a scientific objectivity that questioned the whole theoretical structure of the Church, were received by the ecclesiastical power, as negative reasons for the instituted power of the Catholic Church, because they allowed to glimpse that, being this institution so important at the time, different approaches could be generated to the ecclesiastics. The list of charges against Bruno by the unilateral ecclesiastical courts of the time can be summarized as follows: 1. He had different opinions to Catholic faith, to speak against her and her ministers2. To have different opinions to the catholic faith on the trinity the divinity of christ and the reincarnation did not understand that the holy spirit was a third person3. I believed that God's life is not eternal4. There are multiple worlds5. Original sin denied the presence of Christ in the Eucharist In conclusionIn the current times, Giordano Bruno leaves history to become effective in the current political situation of Colombia, because as everyone knows, the hegemonic discourse of the violent powers that govern the planet today and in particular Colombia, have established a type of unanimous truth that pretends not to be questioned, not introverted, not denounced, not disclosed. Even the church and the State continue to identify the autonomous and autonomous thinking of society, of communities as a dangerous element that must be conjured by coercive power. Knowledge is power, education, ideas free men and women represent a danger to this kind of factual powers that despise life and worship things. The voices of the oppressed, clamor for justice, clamor for truth and reparation, cry for stable and lasting peace, clamor for a world among humans, human too human. Giordano Bruno is a true agitator of the consciences of all times and will be evoked by his libertarian thought before the truths sealed by the hegemonic discourses. ; Giordano Bruno, un agitador de las conciencias libertarias Por Manuelita Sánchez Ortiz y Wilson Sánchez Jiménez Giordano Bruno nació cuatro años después de la muerte de Camillo, en 1548. Entró en orden Dominicana en 1563. Educado en el convento dominico de Nápoles, su educación debió de incluir una intensa concentración en el arte de la memoria, pues los congestorios, fusiones y complicaciones que en esa tradición habían crecido al socaire de los preceptos ad herenianos, tal como los encontramos en los tratados de Romberch y Rosellius, entraron en tropel en los libros brunianos sobre la memoria. Según las palabras que, tomándolas de los propios labios de Bruno, anotó el bibliotecario de la abadía de Saint Víctor de Paris, a Bruno ya se le conocía como experto en la memoria antes de que dejarse la Orden Dominica (Yates, 2005). El filósofo Giordano Bruno, rumió en el silencio monasterial de las pétreas Abadías, todos los textos fundamentales de la época clásica de la luminosa Grecia; durante años de lectura rigurosa y retiros espirituales, se dedicó a estudiar con detenimiento, toda la amplia teoría ética, física y lógica de la tradición antigua, con ello logro hacer temblar los postulados teológicos del establecimiento de la iglesia institución (la iglesia católica). La expulsión de Giordano Bruno de la orden Dominica, señalado de hereje; su persecución y posterior condena a la hoguera, por los altos jerarcas de la iglesia, deja en evidencia el dogmatismo y el ejercicio violento de esta institución sobre quienes afirmaban en aquella época una concepción distinta del mundo. La muerte de Bruno, hasta el día de hoy, aún sigue demostrándole al mundo entero que, los discursos hegemónicos se abrogan del poder de hacer vivir y hacer morir, de imponer la noción de verdad de unas minorías sobre las mayorías, y esto sigue siendo una constante en las relaciones de poder que los poderosos han impuesto a sangre y fuego sobre los pueblos en todo el planeta. La muerte de Giordano Bruno muestra la censura llevada a cabo por la Iglesia católica del siglo XVI en contra de aquellos filósofos, científicos, sabios y demás, que iban en contra de las pretensiones hegemónicas de la Iglesia y que ponían en duda los juicios de valor emitidos por esta institución aliada con los poderes reinantes tal como lo podemos ver en el libro Giordano Bruno: El arte de la memoria, citado líneas arriba. Ángel J. Cappelletti en el prólogo al libro "Sobre el infinito universo y los mundos" muestra algunos rasgos de la personalidad de Giordano Bruno: "Alaba Bruno, sin duda, en Copérnico la concepción heliocéntrica, pero le reprocha el no haber extraído todas las consecuencias cosmológicas que, según su propia interpretación, deben extraerse de ella. En consecuencia, con una cierta impudicia muy renacentista, que se escuda apenas en citas poéticas y consideraciones retóricas, hace luego un incondicionado elogio de sí mismo, y de la propia filosofía: "He aquí a aquel que ha abarcado el aire, penetrado el cielo, recorrido las estrellas, traspasado los límites del mundo, hecho desaparecer las fantásticas murallas de las primeras, octavas, novenas, décimas y otras esferas que se habrían, podido añadir, según las opiniones de vanos matemáticos y la ciega visión de vulgares filósofos". El abrió los claustros de la verdad, desnudó la oculta naturaleza, dio vista a los ciegos, soltó la lengua a los mudos, hizo andar a los cojos del espíritu. Por él sabemos que si viviéramos en la Luna o en las estrellas no habitaríamos un mundo mejor sino quizás peor que éste. Gracias a él conocemos la existencia de millares eje astros que contemplan al universal, eterno e infinito eficiente; nuestra razón no está ya aprisionada por los grillos de fantásticos móviles y motores; sabemos que no hay más que un solo cielo inmenso, en el cual los astros se mueven y participan de la vida perpetua. Descubrimos, con él, el efecto infinito de la infinita causa y aprendemos a no buscar lejos de nosotros a la divinidad, que está dentro de nosotros y más próxima a nosotros que nosotros mismos". (Bruno, 1584) El maestro Ángel J. Cappelletti se sorprende de algunos pasajes de Bruno, en relación a la idea del universo mismo que el filósofo sostenía, es decir, una serie de osadas pero lógicas consecuencias, reflejadas en las siguientes líneas en vos de Cappelletti: El universo, en cuanto está formado por un alma única, constituye un conjunto o, por mejor decir, un todo animado. El universo es, pues, un grande y sagrado animal: animal, porque dotado de auto-movimiento y de vida; grande, porque incluye en sí todos los seres y llena todos los espacios posibles; sagrado, porque su alma, esto es, el ser de su ser, es Dios. Más aún, todas las cosas que integran el universo están dotadas de alma y de vida, ya que en todas ellas está presente una forma que es principio de su propio movimiento. "Todo está lleno de dioses", podría haber exclamado Bruno, como, según se dice, exclamó Tales. "También aquí hay dioses", podría haber respondido ante las objeciones de sus adversarios, como Heráclito exclamó, invitando a sus visitantes a que se acercaran al fuego. "Cualquier cosa, por pequeña y mínima que sea –dice Bruno–, tiene en sí una parte de substancia espiritual, la cual, si encuentra dispuesto al sujeto, se desarrolla en planta o en animal y recibe los miembros de un cuerpo que, por lo común, se llama animado: porque espíritu se encuentra en todas las cosas y no existe un mínimo corpúsculo que no contenga en sí una parte que lo anime." (Bruno, 1584) Los postulados cosmológicos de Bruno, más allá de ser una objetividad científica que puso en tela de juicio toda la estructura teórica de la Iglesia, fueron recibidos por el poder eclesiástico, como razones negativas para el poder instituida de la Iglesia católica, pues permitieron vislumbrar que, siendo esta institución tan importante en la época, se podían generar planteamientos distintos a los eclesiásticos. La lista de cargos en contra de bruno por los unilaterales tribunales eclesiásticos de la época se puede resumir en las siguientes: Tenía opiniones distintas a fe católica, hablar contra ella y sus ministros Tener opiniones distintas a la fe católica sobre la trinidad la divinidad de cristo y la reencarnación no entendía que el espíritu santo fuera una tercera persona Creía que la vida de dios no es eterna Existen múltiples mundos Negaba el pecado original la presencia de cristo en la eucaristía A manera de conclusión En los tiempos actuales, Giordano Bruno sale de la historia para hacerse vigente en la actual coyuntura política de Colombia, pues como todos los saben, el discurso hegemónico de los violentos poderes que hoy gobiernan el planeta y en particular Colombia, han instaurado un tipo de verdad unánime que pretende ser no cuestionada, no introvertida, no denunciada, no develada. Aún la iglesia y el Estado siguen identificando al pensamiento propio y autónomo de la sociedad, de las comunidades como un elemento de peligroso que debe ser conjurado por el poder coercitivo. El conocimiento es poder, la educación, las ideas los hombres y mujeres libres representan un peligro para este tipo de poderes fácticos que desprecian la vida y adoran las cosas. Las voces de los oprimidos, claman por justicia, claman por verdad y reparación, claman por la paz estable y duradera, claman por un mundo entre los humanos, humano demasiado humano. Giordano Bruno es un auténtico agitador de las conciencias de todos los tiempos y será evocado por su pensamiento libertario ante las verdades selladas por los discursos hegemónicos. ; Giordano Bruno, um agitador das consciências libertáriasPor Manuelita Sánchez Ortiz e Wilson Sánchez Jiménez Giordano Bruno nasceu quatro anos depois da morte de Camillo, em 1548. Entrou na ordem dominicana em 1563. Educado no convento dominicano de Nápoles, sua educação deve ter incluído uma intensa concentração na arte da memória, como congestionado, fusões. e complicações que nessa tradição tinham crescido ao sotavento dos preceitos ad herenianos, como os encontramos nos tratados de Romberch e Rosellius, entraram em tropel nos livros brunianos sobre a memória. Segundo as palavras que, tomando-as dos próprios lábios de Bruno, observou o bibliotecário da abadia de São Victor de Paris, Bruno já era conhecido como um especialista em memória antes de deixar a Ordem Dominicana (Yates, 2005). O filósofo Giordano Bruno, ruminado no silêncio monumental das abadias de pedra, todos os textos fundamentais do período clássico da Grécia luminosa; durante anos de leitura rigorosa e retiros espirituais, dedicou-se a estudar em profundidade toda a teoria ética, física e lógica da tradição antiga, com isso consegui sacudir os postulados teológicos do estabelecimento da instituição eclesial (a igreja católica). A expulsão de Giordano Bruno da ordem Dominica, indicada como herege; sua perseguição e subseqüente condenação do fogo, pelas altas hierarquias da igreja, deixa em evidência o dogmatismo e o violento exercício dessa instituição sobre aqueles que afirmavam naquela época uma concepção diferente do mundo. A morte de Bruno, até hoje, continua a demonstrar ao mundo inteiro que os discursos hegemônicos anulam o poder de fazer as pessoas viverem e morrerem, impor a noção de verdade sobre as minorias às maiorias, e isso permanece uma constante nas relações de poder que os poderosos impuseram em sangue e fogo aos povos de todo o planeta. A morte de Giordano Bruno mostra a censura levada a cabo pela Igreja Católica no século XVI contra aqueles filósofos, cientistas, estudiosos e outros que se opuseram às pretensões hegemónicas da Igreja e questionaram os juízos de valor. emitida por esta instituição aliada aos poderes dominantes, como podemos ver no livro Giordano Bruno: A arte da memória, citada acima. Angel J. Cappelletti no prólogo do livro "Sobre o universo infinito e os mundos" mostra algumas características da personalidade de Guordano Bruno: "Bruno elogia, indubitavelmente, em Copérnico a concepção heliocêntrica, mas o repreende por não ter extraído todas as consequências cosmológico que, de acordo com sua própria interpretação, deve ser extraído dele. Conseqüentemente, com uma certa impudência muito renascentista, que se abriga apenas em citações poéticas e considerações retóricas, ele então faz um elogio incondicional de si mesmo e da própria filosofia: "Aqui está aquele que abraçou o ar, penetrou o céu, viajou as estrelas, cruzou os limites do mundo, fez desaparecer as paredes fantásticas do primeiro, oitavas, novenas, décimos e outras esferas, que poderiam ter sido adicionadas, de acordo com as opiniões da vaidade matemática e a visão cega dos filósofos vulgares ". Ele abriu os claustros da verdade, despiu a natureza oculta, deu vista aos cegos, soltou o mudo, fez o coxo do espírito andar. Para ele, sabemos que, se vivêssemos na Lua ou nas estrelas, não habitaríamos um mundo melhor, mas talvez pior do que esse. Graças a ele, sabemos da existência de milhares de eixos estelares que contemplam o universal, eterno e infinito eficiente; nossa razão já não está aprisionada pelos grilos de celulares e motores fantásticos; sabemos que existe apenas um imenso céu, no qual as estrelas se movem e participam da vida perpétua. Descobrimos, com ele, o efeito infinito da causa infinita e aprendemos a não procurar longe de nós a divindade, que está dentro de nós e mais perto de nós do que nós mesmos. (Bruno, 1584) O professor Ángel J. Cappelletti surpreende-se de algumas passagens de Bruno, em relação à ideia do mesmo universo que o filósofo sustentou, isto é, uma série de negrito mas consequências lógicas, refletidas nas seguintes linhas em você de Cappelletti: O universo, na medida em que é formado por uma única alma, constitui um todo ou, para melhor, um todo animado. O universo é, então, um animal grande e sagrado: animal, porque dotado de auto-movimento e vida; grande, porque inclui todos os seres em si e preenche todos os espaços possíveis; sagrado, porque a sua alma, isto é, o ser do seu ser, é Deus. Além disso, todas as coisas que compõem o universo são dotadas de alma e vida, pois em todas elas existe uma forma que é o começo de seu próprio movimento. "Tudo está cheio de deuses", exclamou Bruno, como se diz, exclamou Thales. "Há também deuses aqui", ele poderia ter respondido às objeções de seus adversários, como Heráclito exclamou, convidando seus visitantes a se aproximarem do fogo. "Qualquer coisa, por pequena e mínima que seja", diz Bruno, "tem em si uma parte da substância espiritual que, se encontrar o sujeito disposto, se desenvolve em planta ou animal e recebe os membros de um corpo que, por o que é comum é chamado de animado: porque o espírito é encontrado em todas as coisas e não há um corpúsculo mínimo que não contém em si uma parte que o anima. "(Bruno, 1584) Os postulados cosmológicos de Bruno, além de ser uma objetividade científica que questionava toda a estrutura teórica da Igreja, foram recebidos pelo poder eclesiástico, como razões negativas para o poder instituído da Igreja Católica, pois permitiram vislumbrar que Sendo esta instituição tão importante na época, diferentes abordagens poderiam ser geradas para os eclesiásticos. A lista de acusações contra Bruno pelas cortes eclesiásticas unilaterais da época pode ser resumida da seguinte forma: Ele tinha opiniões diferentes da fé católica, para falar contra ela e seus ministros Para ter opiniões diferentes sobre a fé católica na trindade, a divindade de cristo e a reencarnação não entenderam que o espírito santo era uma terceira pessoa. Eu acreditava que a vida de Deus não é eterna Existem vários mundos O pecado original negou a presença de Cristo na Eucaristia A caminho da conclusão Nos tempos atuais, Giordano Bruno deixa a história para se tornar efetiva na atual situação política da Colômbia, porque, como todos sabem, o discurso hegemônico dos poderes violentos que governam o planeta hoje e em particular a Colômbia, estabeleceram um tipo de verdade unânime que finge não ser questionada, não introvertida, não denunciada, não revelada. Mesmo a Igreja e o Estado continuam a identificar o pensamento autônomo e autônomo da sociedade, das comunidades como um elemento perigoso que deve ser invocado pelo poder coercitivo. Conhecimento é poder, educação, idéias homens e mulheres livres representam um perigo para esse tipo de poder factual que despreza a vida e cultiva as coisas. As vozes dos oprimidos, clamam por justiça, clamam por verdade e reparação, clamam por paz estável e duradoura, clamam por um mundo entre humanos, humanos demais humanos. Giordano Bruno é um verdadeiro agitador das consciências de todos os tempos e será evocado por seu pensamento libertário diante das verdades seladas pelos discursos hegemônicos. Bibliografia
