Giordano Bruno (latinski: Iordanus Brunus Nolanus, januar ili februar 1548 – 17. februara 1600) bio je italinaski filozof, pjesnik, kosmološki teoretičar i ezoterist[1] iz doba renesanse. Poznat je po svojim kosmološkim teorijama, koje su se konceptualno proširile na tadašnji novi kopernikanski model. Predložio je teoriju da su zvijezde udaljena sunca okružena vlastitim planetama (egzoplanetama), i iznio je mogućnost da bi ove planete mogle podržati život, kosmološki položaj poznat kao kosmički pluralizam. Također je insistirao da je univerzum beskonačan i da ne može imati centar.
Iako je Bruno počeo kao dominikanski fratar, prihvatio je kalvinizam tokom svog boravka u Ženevi.[2] Kasnije mu je rimska inkvizicija sudila za herezu pod optužbom za poricanje nekoliko osnovnih katoličkih doktrina, uključujući vječno prokletstvo, Sveto Trojstvo, Kristovo božanstvo, Marijino djevičanstvo i transupstancijaciju. Crkva nije olako shvatila Brunov panteizam,[3] niti njegovo učenje o metempsihozi u vezi sa reinkarnacijom duše. Inkvizicija ga je proglasila krivim i živ je spaljen na lomači u rimskom Campo de' Fiori 1600. Nakon njegove smrti, stekao je značajnu slavu, a posebno su ga slavili komentatori iz 19. i početka 20. stoljeća koji su ga smatrali mučenikom za nauku. Međutim, većina historičara se slaže da njegovo suđenje za hereziju nije bilo odgovor na njegove kosmološke poglede, već odgovor na njegove religijske i zagrobne poglede,[4][5][6][7][8] iako neki još uvijek tvrde da je glavni razlog Brunove smrti bio njegov kosmološki pogled.[9][10][11] Brunov slučaj se i dalje smatra prekretnicom u historiji slobodne misli i novih nauka.[12][13]
Pored kosmologije, Bruno je opširno pisao i o umjetnosti pamćenja, labavo organiziranoj grupi mnemotehničkih tehnika i principa. Historičar Frances Yates tvrdi da je Bruno bio pod dubokim uticajem presokratskog Empedokla, neoplatonizma, renesansnog hermetizma i legendi sličnih Knjizi postanka koje okružuju helenističku koncepciju Hermesa Trismegistosa.[14] Druge Brunove studije fokusirale su se na njegov kvalitativni pristup matematici i njegovu primjenu prostornih koncepata geometrije na jezik.[15]

It is true that he was burned at the stake in Rome in 1600, but the church authorities guilty of this action were almost certainly more distressed at his denial of Christ's divinity and alleged diabolism than at his cosmological doctrines."

"Yet the fact remains that cosmological matters, notably the plurality of worlds, were an identifiable concern all along and appear in the summary document: Bruno was repeatedly questioned on these matters, and he apparently refused to recant them at the end.14 So, Bruno probably was burned alive for resolutely maintaining a series of heresies, among which his teaching of the plurality of worlds was prominent but by no means singular."

One of the first and most notable developments consisted in a growing awareness that earlier commentators had indeed been right to consider Bruno's trial as being closely linked to that of Galileo (...) Jean Seidengart underlined the particular emphasis to be found throughout the trial on Bruno's doctrine of a plurality of worlds." and "Bruno, however, by admitting so candidly his distance from the Catholic theology, was indirectly questioning such a system of law, which imposed on his conscience views different from his own. (...) he was doing it in the name of a principle of religious pluralism which derived directly from his cosmology.

For Bruno was claiming for the philosopher a principle of free thought and inquiry which implied an entirely new concept of authority: that of the individual intellect in its serious and continuing pursuit of an autonomous inquiry… It is impossible to understand the issue involved and to evaluate justly the stand made by Bruno with his life without appreciating the question of free thought and liberty of expression. His insistence on placing this issue at the center of both his work and of his defense is why Bruno remains so much a figure of the modern world. If there is, as many have argued, an intrinsic link between science and liberty of inquiry, then Bruno was among those who guaranteed the future of the newly emerging sciences, as well as claiming in wider terms a general principle of free thought and expression.

In Rome, Bruno was imprisoned for seven years and subjected to a difficult trial that analyzed, minutely, all his philosophical ideas. Bruno, who in Venice had been willing to recant some theses, became increasingly resolute and declared on 21 December 1599 that he 'did not wish to repent of having too little to repent, and in fact did not know what to repent.' Declared an unrepentant heretic and excommunicated, he was burned alive in the Campo dei Fiori in Rome on Ash Wednesday, 17 February 1600. On the stake, along with Bruno, burned the hopes of many, including philosophers and scientists of good faith like Galileo, who thought they could reconcile religious faith and scientific research, while belonging to an ecclesiastical organization declaring itself to be the custodian of absolute truth and maintaining a cultural militancy requiring continual commitment and suspicion.
