Nothing personnel, mystics. Only jesus is allowed to have spiritual superpowers.

>he hasn't taken the panpsychism pill

What can you tell me about him and his views? He seems interesting. Have you read any of his works? I want to know what /lit/ thinks of him?

Have any of you heard of Giordano Bruno? What do you think of him? His views seem interesting

Imagine taking the side of the guys that were always against scientific and social progress
Imagine worshipping a jew on a stick
Imagine being unironically a neo-thomist tranny
you incels are trash, I'm going back to my superior truelit subreddit, you can stay here and shitpost about Aquinas and seethe about how homosexuals aren't being persecuted and how you'll never live in the dark ages ever again. Pic extremely related.

Ever since I’ve been online I’ve seen people get into this guy. Do they just like him for his life, as a kind of symbol of rebellion or is there actually substance to his work? I know good writers have taken influence from him but it seems like they’re projecting what they want to see onto his work. I’ve read several short pieces by him online and he seems to vacillate between pure irrationality and banality. He’s either talking about being chased by ghosts or dispensing platitudes in what I’ve read so far. Is there more to him?

>Giordano Bruno (/dʒɔːrˈdɑːnoʊ ˈbruːnoʊ/, Italian: [dʒorˈdaːno ˈbruːno]; Latin: Iordanus Brunus Nolanus; born Filippo Bruno, January or February 1548 – 17 February 1600) was an Italian Dominican friar, philosopher, mathematician, poet, cosmological theorist, and Hermetic occultist.[3][4] He is known for his cosmological theories, which conceptually extended the then-novel Copernican model. He proposed that the stars were distant suns surrounded by their own planets, and he raised the possibility that these planets might foster life of their own, a philosophical position known as cosmic pluralism. He also insisted that the universe is infinite and could have no "centre".

> Starting in 1593, Bruno was tried for heresy by the Roman Inquisition on charges of denial of several core Catholic doctrines, including eternal damnation, the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, the virginity of Mary, and transubstantiation. Bruno's pantheism was not taken lightly by the church,[5] as was his teaching of the transmigration of the soul/reincarnation. The Inquisition found him guilty, and he was burned at the stake in Rome's Campo de' Fiori in 1600.

Dude what if other planets exist and are populated by Catholics lmao

Giordano Bruno on the desire for women:

"That final insult and ill-deed of nature, which under the guise of
beauty tricks us with a surface, a shadow, a ghost , a dream , a Circean incantation directed toward the service of procreation; a beauty which comes and goes, is born and dies, blossoms and festers; and woman is a little beautiful outside, for her true inward self contains permanently a potpourri, a warhouse, a grab bag, a market of all the filth, poisons, and harmful substances our stepmother Nature has been able to produce; which, after having collected that seed which served her comes often to pay with a stench, a repentance, sadness, weariness... and with other ills which can be seen throughout the whole world."

Giordano Bruno thinks it right that women should be loved and honored only:
"As much as is owed to diem for the little they give at that time and on that occasion, unless they have some virtue other than a natural one, namely the virtue of [hat beauty and splendor and service without which they must be deemed to have been born more uselessly into the world than any diseased fungus which occupies the ground to the detriment of better plants."

What's //lit/'s response? Call him a bitter virgin?
