Description:A contemporary of Giordano Bruno and Galileo, Tommaso Campanella (1568OCo1639) was a controversial philosopher, theologian, astrologer, and poet who was persecuted during the Inquisition and spent much of his adult life imprisoned because of his heterodox views. He is best known today for two works: "The City of the Sun," a dialogue inspired by PlatoOCOs "Republic," in which he prophesies a vision of a unified, peaceful world governed by a theocratic monarchy; and his well-meaning "Defense of Galileo," which may have done Galileo more harm than good because of CampanellaOCOs previous conviction for heresy.aaaaaaaaaaaBut CampanellaOCOs philosophical poems are where his most forceful and undiluted ideas reside. His poetry is where his faith in observable and experimental sciences, his astrological and occult wisdom, his ideas about deism, his anti-Aristotelianism, and his calls for religious and secular reform most put him at odds with both civil and church authorities. For this volume, Sherry Roush has selected CampanellaOCOs best and most idiosyncratic poems, which are masterpieces of sixteenth-century Italian lyrics, displaying a questing mind of great, if unorthodox, brilliance, and showing CampanellaOCOs passionate belief in the intrinsic harmony between the sacred and secular.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
