Giordano Bruno: Priest, Visionary, Heretic
14/03/2004
In an age when the Catholic Church was vigorously suppressing the rise of scientific thought, Giordano Bruno was heading for a fall. Widely travelled and openly teaching his ideas of the infinity of the universe, Cabbalistic thought, and his rejection of Aristotle's philosophy, the Inquisition finally silenced him in 1600. Or did it? The reverse is true, according to biographer, Michael White, who says Bruno has never been more popular.
