This book was released on 2014-08-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1584, while living in the household of Michel de Castelnau, the French Ambassador to the court of Queen Elizabeth of England, Giordano Bruno completed three books of cosmological dialogues: The Ash Wednesday Supper; On Cause, Principle and Unity; and the current volume, On the Infinite, the Universe and the Worlds. Drawing on the work of Lucretius, Nicholas da Cusa, Nicholas Copernicus and others, Bruno developed the theory of an infinitely extensive universe, filled with stars like our sun and planets like our own.Giordano Bruno's heretical ideas and forceful personality led to a turbulent life in which he travelled to most of the great academic and cultural centers of Europe, culminating in his trial and execution by the Roman Inquisition in 1600.Recently, this work and Giordano Bruno were referenced in the new series of Cosmos.

Download or read book Bernardino Telesio and the Natural Sciences in the Renaissance written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-07-08 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is devoted to the natural philosopher Bernardino Telesio (1509-1588) and his place in the scientific debates of the Renaissance. Telesio’s thought is emblematic of Renaissance culture in its aspiration towards universality; the volume deals with the roots and reception of his vistas from an interdisciplinary perspective ranging from the history of philosophy to that of physics, astronomy, meteorology, medicine, and psychology. The editor, Pietro Daniel Omodeo and leading specialists of intellectual history introduce Telesio’s conceptions to English-speaking historians of science through a series of studies, which aim to foster our understanding of a crucial early modern author, his world, achievement, networks, and influence. Contributors are Roberto Bondì, Arianna Borrelli, Rodolfo Garau, Giulia Giannini, Miguel Ángel Granada, Hiro Hirai, Martin Mulsow, Elio Nenci, Pietro Daniel Omodeo, Nuccio Ordine, Alessandro Ottaviani, Jürgen Renn, Riccarda Suitner, and Oreste Trabucco.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questa raccolta di poesie e di racconti popolari anonimi in dialetto molisano tracciano il percorso di due storie che, pur diversificate, si compenetrano e si completano a vicenda: la storia individuale dell' autore e la storia collettiva della società di un paese del Sud. Le immagini di un mondo apparentemente immobile e arcaico si alternano alle vicende di una realtà storica complessa e tormentata, nel cui magma vecchio e nuovo si scontrano e si fondono. This collection of poems and anonymous folktales in the Molisan dialect traces the unfolding of two stories which, although distinct, interweave and complete each other: the author's individual story and the story of a town in the South of Italy. The images of an apparently immobile and archaic world alternate with the events of a complex and tormented historical reality, in whose magma the new and the old clash and fuse.

Download or read book The Work of Art written by Gérard Genette and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What art is--its very nature--is the subject of this book by one of the most distinguished continental theorists writing today. Informed by the aesthetics of Nelson Goodman and referring to a wide range of cultures, contexts, and media, The Work of Art seeks to discover, explain, and define how art exists and how it works. To this end, Gérard Genette explores the distinction between a work of art's immanence--its physical presence--and transcendence--the experience it induces. That experience may go far beyond the object itself.Genette situates art within the broad realm of human practices, extending from the fine arts of music, painting, sculpture, and literature to humbler but no less fertile fields such as haute couture and the culinary arts. His discussion touches on a rich array of examples and is bolstered by an extensive knowledge of the technology involved in producing and disseminating a work of art, regardless of whether that dissemination is by performance, reproduction, printing, or recording. Moving beyond examples, Genette proposes schemata for thinking about the different manifestations of a work of art. He also addresses the question of the artwork's duration and mutability.

Download or read book Il cosmo della mente written by Edoardo Boncinelli and published by Il Saggiatore. This book was released on 2018-08-30 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quanti anni ha la vita? Qual è il destino delle stelle? Se l'atomo è fatto di vuoto, che cosa sostiene il mondo? Perché solo i nostri neuroni, tra quelli di tutte le specie, sono in grado di descrivere i neutrini? Edoardo Boncinelli e Antonio Ereditato ci raccontano l'avventura dell'Universo: dall'esplosione iniziale al costituirsi dell'architettura delle galassie, dal principio dello spaziotempo all'evoluzione dei sapiens e al sorgere della coscienza umana. Tornano a istanti che vanno da 10–30 a 10–20 secondi dopo il Big Bang, durante i quali sono avvenuti cambiamenti più importanti che nell'ultimo miliardo di anni. Ci spiegano la natura ambivalente delle particelle elementari, corpuscolare e ondulatoria insieme, grazie a cui possiamo far rivivere in laboratorio il cosmo ai suoi esordi, clonando il «dinosauro-Universoappena-nato». Si spingono fino ai giganteschifi lamenti delle galassie che formano la rete del cosmo e oltre, agli insondabili buchi neri. Penetrano il mistero di un cervello troppo grande e complesso per sostenere soltanto la sua sopravvivenza ed enunciano una grande verità: fra tutto ciò che conosciamo, solo la nostra mente – indecifrabile congegno biologico con neuroni più numerosi delle stelle che popolano la Via Lattea – ci consente di donare una storia all'Universo in cui pensiamo e agiamo da milioni di anni; di donargli, in fondo, l'esistenza. Il cosmo della mente spazia dalle distanze siderali all'infi nitamente piccolo; ascolta il moto di espansione dell'Universo, il suo respiro; osserva quelle grandezze di cui solo oggi, grazie agli ultimi progressi tecnologici, iniziamo davvero ad avere contezza. È un viaggio attraverso cui il lettore avrà modo di avvicinarsi alla radiazione cosmica di fondo; al luogo in cui, sul confi ne tra noto e ignoto, svanisce ogni certezza e ci affacciamo alla vertigine dell'oscurità; là dove, insieme alle stelle, brillano il mistero e la bellezza del cosmo, lasciandoci senza fiato.
