Giordano Bruno in the role of Nolan Philosopher

Hilary Gatti

This paper discusses Giordano Bruno's very original way of constructing a public 'persona' for himself from a position of exile and solitude, which can be seen as a model for the role of those modern intellectuals who claim a right to comment on public affairs precisely because they remain outside of and aloof from public office.
