Giordano Bruno: kosmická perspektiva

Roč.9,č.1(2018)

Abstrakt

Giordano Bruno (1548–1600) se v průběhu italské renesance etabloval jako nejvýznamnější filozof své doby. Odvážil se zpochybnit tehdy hluboce zakořeněný aristotelský světonázor. Bylo to díky síle jeho představivosti, která mu umožnila zajít ve svém hloubání až k úvahám o podstatě reality mimo naši Zemi. Jeho kosmická vize představovala náš vesmír jako nekonečný, obsahující nekonečné množství hvězd a planet, a dokonce uvažovala o možnosti existence inteligentních bytostí na jiných světech. V tomto byly Brunovy odvážné představy daleko před objevy Galilea, Koperníka, Keplera či Mikuláše Kusánského a dalších předních renesančních astronomů a filozofů. Právě Brunův úžasný vhled do metafyzické sféry položil základy dnešnímu vědeckému přístupu k pátrání po exoplanetách, neznámých formách života, sebeuvědomělých bytostech nebo i civilizacích, které mohou existovat někde v nedozírných hlubinách kosmického prostoru.
