Giordano Bruno - Martyr or Magician?

Was Giordano Bruno really a Martyr for Science?
What did he believe, and why was he burnt at the stake in 1600 A.D? Those are the subject's we will cover in this video.
This will include the early life of Giordano Bruno, and the historical context Bruno lived in. Afterwards we will cover the core ideas in Giordano Bruno's worldview, and his relationship towards modern science. The video will then be concluded with the trial and execution of Giordano Bruno, and whether Bruno should be considered a martyr for modern science.

Modern Day "New" Atheists love to talk about how Giordano Bruno was a martyr for science, when he was really a martyr for occultist ideas

[@azazel166]

"New" Atheist here, I don't talk about him, other than what happened to him was a crime.

[@anthonypalo8191]

Exactly!

Modern day Christians love to criticize the man THEY literally slow roasted to death just for being a free thinker even though YOUR religion is full of pedophile priests. Watch the movie "Spotlight", based on a true story. Eight percent of all priests are pedophiles. Fucking hypocrite.

Yeah except that he got almost everything wrong. Read a few books about Bruno and discover truth because this guy's just making stuff up off the top of his head. Bruno wasn't even born in Naples he was born in Nola and didn't join the Dominican monastery at the age of 17, he joined at the age of 15. Very basic and simple facts that are easy to verify. I didn't even bother watching past the 41 second mark because if he can't even get the basic facts right then all I'm going to end up doing is fact checking the WHOLE rest of the video.

[@kevanhubbard9673]

I wouldn't say he was a martyr for science as he wasn't a scientist.He seems to have followed a belief which would equate to what we now call Panentheism....a theological rather than scientific position.

[@liquidbraino]

He literally invented the word "scientist", the first use of that word is in one of his books and he also was the first to suggest that mathematics should be included into the "Natural Philosophy" which is what science was called before the 17th century.

Please note Bruno proved then and now 500 years later that he was correct to hall the aspect of his Theory he started Relativity,Quantum physics and in the future i will be proven right in the assumption that the Universe is Infinite it would be ridiculous to think that the Universe as boundary.Bruno quote We hare made of the same material can be changed but can not be destroyed. I firmly believe he was a genius far more Galileo,Newton,Avogadro,Einstein

[@josephbartlett1979]

Bruno saw the deception for what it was and knew that we needed to get back to the old gods he knew that we all have the potential for Christ in the importance of it but the two thousand-year-old religion was associated with it's part of the deception which goes so much deeper

[@liquidbraino]

Everything you learned is wrong if all you know about Bruno came from this video. He wasn't born in Naples and he didn't join the Dominican monastery at the age of 17. Watch ANY other videos if you want to know the truth about Bruno, more than half of this shit was made up. Or just read a few books about Giordano Bruno. Nobody these days reads books because people these days are intellectually lazy and I find that ironic since you're on a video about Giordano Bruno.

You might say it is not serious, but my Italian grandfather told my mother how can one respect a church that burned Bruno at the stake?

[@2tehnik]

Surprised you didn't mention his pantheism. Is there good reason to believe it influenced his charge?

[@quillinkhistory9539]

I am aware of it, though it was not something that was brought up much in the literature I used. While pantheism is definitely something that the church deemed heretical in the late sixteenth century, I'm not sure if it specifically could have been one of the charges.

Mage.....but I'll watch and see what you propose.

[@athenassigil5820]

Ok, I watched and was relieved by your conclusion. Bruno was an amazing thinker, philosper and practicioner of the art of memory, he was not a martyr of science as proposed by Neil Degrasse Tyson. In fact, I loved the depiction in Cosmos through the art style etc, but Bruno was more accustomed to neoplatonic cosmology, which was hardly "scientific", his was an amazing mind, but he was trapped in the world of celestial hierarchies and contemplative Platonism...not the scientific rigor of trial and error and methodology. But he definitely was a noble human, living in a very ignorant era....for which he paid the ultimate price.

[@quillinkhistory9539]

Agreed, while not a martyr for modern science, I do believe that ha can be seen as a martyr for freedom of though, and of speech.

He was fifteen years old at the time; not seventeen. No point in even watching the rest of the video if you can't even get the BASIC facts right.

Heliocentricism was never proved scientifically. The whole heliocentric crusade was led for religious (pagan and magical) reasons by people such as Copernicus and Galilei who wanted to create a metaphysics alternative/opposed to christianity. The whole modern science is basically based upon this. It was meant to create a new platonic approach to spiritual life based on aerial vs earth demons to interact with. At least it had some internal coherence while contemporary science just got rid of human spirituality and trascendence while keeping that astronomical structure (still today not proved) hence basically becoming a walking abomination

[@jasonmoonshiner]

Could you explain further? I'm interested

[@cyberreality7774]

@@jasonmoonshiner Basically the whole Heliocentric revolution started and went on for exoteric reasons (this is something now recognized by official historians) based on symbolism, some form of neo paganism based on Pythagoras teachings etc rather than on observation of nature. It all was based on the ancient cult of the Sun so the Sun HAD to be at the center of the universe (physically and metaphorically). They started from this assumption and then they searched for evidence, not the other way around. That's why Keynes (and many materialist leaning thinkers) were actually disappointed when they studied and learnt more about Newton or Kepler or Paracelsus or Bruno: they all basically were way more into occultism than nature and our culture is still today depicting them in a very distorted way (as natural scientists)

[@LuisAldamiz]

Both martyr and magician, of course. Also science is magic (just that it is "serious magic", not charlatanism), you are not fooling anyone by making a distinction.

[@quillinkhistory9539]

I disagree. While natural magic does have an important role in the history of early modern science, it's not reasonable to equate it with science.
