Descrizione

The aim of this paper is to analyze the influence of Plato’s Timaeus on Giordano Bruno’s philosophy of nature, in the light of the Late Ancient tradition and the Renaissance Hermetism. The importance of such influence will be studied with regard to Bruno’s anti-Aristotelianism as to matter and the infinity of the worlds. In particular, Bruno declares to infer from Timaeus of Locri and Plato the theory of the continuous and mutual transmutation of the elements and that of the homogeneity of the matter. Also, following the Neoplatonic tradition, Bruno ascribes Plato the theory of a multiplicity of worlds, finding in the Timaeus an important source for a pluralistic cosmology; consequently, he claims the existence of an infinite number of infinite universes.
