Two kinds of infinity. Nicholas of Cusa and Giordano Bruno
Original language description
It is commonly known that Giordano Bruno learned from Nicholas of Cusa. He quotes extensively the De beryllo and other texts of Cusanus in order to make his philosophy of the infinity of the world philosophically acceptable. The serious problem in the familiarity and difference between the early and the late Renaissance thinker is the notion of the infinite, its constructive function in the philosophical system, its epistemological and metaphysical status. Whereas Cusanus postulates the infinite as the unavoidable condition for the correlation between reality, origin, and understanding, Bruno harvested the fruits of such a daring approach to what used to be the domain of Aristotelian ontology and turns the transcendence of the infinite into the immanence of truth in reality.
