is he, dare i say, an early c.g. jung? what was jung's attitude to him?

>Philosophers are in a certain manner painters and poets, poets are painters and philosophers, painters are poets and philosophers. True poets, painters and philosophers love each other and are beloved of each other reciprocally: a philosopher is nothing if he is not one who depicts and presents images.

He's not exactly unknown in the academic or intellectual spheres.

they claim every single rebel for their team and downplay or omit incompatible traits. i'm more interested in parallels between jungian theory and the real bruno.

>Many intellectual historians and scholars of the philosophy of Giordano Bruno have had difficulties with the works which he wrote between 1582 and 1591 on the ars combinatoria and the ars reminiscendi. When confronted with these unfamiliar and seemingly paradoxical ideas they have tended to be dismissive and even openly antagonistic.

This is what everyone should do with all thinkers—unless you're Samuel Johnson—everyone has some bad ideas.

btw from the first one:
>Higgins and Doria seem to view Bruno as a modem or even postmodern
thinker. They appreciate in this treatise the achievement of a glorified and creative
imagination. They also down play the role of mnemonics and magic and instead highlight
the psychological and semiotic aspects of the text. They suggest that the heirs of Bruno are
Jung (who was influenced by Bruno's gods as archetypes) and Saussure (inspired by Bruno's
thoughts on signification)
