    • Oracles of the Cosmos

      Between Pantheism and Secularism

      The divide between science and religion is traced back to the early modern period. In the first part, the popular talk of oracles of reason is traced back to the ancient oracles published in the 15th century, and it is shown how this led to the emergence of a "natural" theology that does without revelation, so that eventually reference to a divine creator seems superfluous. In the second part, using the concept of the cosmos, it is shown that mathematics, especially geometry, has been part of the theological interpretation of Creation since the Middle Ages. From this developed the concept of transcendence as rooted in human thought. Therefore, cosmos, creation, and humanity, which are mutually exclusive, form a unity of complementary elements.

    • Giordano Bruno, der vor 400 Jahren, am 17. Februar 1600, in Rom als Häretiker verbrannt wurde, ist seit der Aufklärung eine Identifikationsfigur: als Ketzer und Märtyrer der Geistesfreiheit, als Frühaufklärer, als Vor-Hegelianer, zuletzt als Magier und Okkultist. Paul Richard Blum stellt in diesem Buch Brunos Philosophie im Zusammenhang mit seiner Biographie dar. Die wichtigsten Themen sind Unendlichkeit und Einheit der Welt und produktive Kraft des menschlichen Geistes, ausgedrückt in einer Logik des Gedächtnisses, philosophischer Mathematik, Monadenlehre und Kosmologie und nicht zuletzt Kritik der Religion.
