A friend of Galileo and author of the renowned utopia The City of the Sun, Tommaso Campanella (Stilo, Calabria,1568- Paris, 1639) is one of the most significant and original thinkers of the early modern period. His philosophical project centred upon the idea of reconciling Renaissance philosophy with a radical reform of science and society. He produced a complex and articulate synthesis of all fields of knowledge - including magic and astrology. During his early formative years as a Dominican friar, he manifested a restless impatience towards Aristotelian philosophy and its followers. As a reaction, he enthusiastically embraced Bernardino Telesio's view that knowledge could only be acquired through the observation of things themselves, investigated through the senses and based on a correct understanding of the link between words and objects. Campanella's new natural philosophy rested on the principle that the books written by men needed to be compared with God's infinite book of nature, allowing them to correct the mistakes scattered throughout the human ˜copies' which were always imperfect, partial and liable to revisions. It is in the light of these principles that he defended Galileo's right to read the book of nature while denouncing the mistake of those - be they Aristotelian philosophers or theologians - who wanted to stop him from carrying on his natural investigations. However, Campanella maintained that the book of nature, far from being written in mathematical characters, was a living organism in which each natural being was endowed with life and a degree of sensibility that was appropriate for its preservation and propagation. Nature as a whole was an organism in which each single part was directed towards the common good. This is the reason why Campanella thought that nature had to be regarded as an ideal model for any political organisation. Political structures were often ruled by injustice and violence precisely because they had departed from that natural model. This book charts Campanella's intellectual life by showing the origin, development and persistence of some of the fundamental tenets of his thought.

A contemporary of Giordano Bruno and Galileo, Tommaso Campanella (1568-1639) was a controversial philosopher, theologian, astrologer, and poet who was persecuted during the Inquisition and spent much of his adult life imprisoned because of his heterodox views. He is best known today for two works: The City of the Sun, a dialogue inspired by Plato's Republic, in which he prophesies a vision of a unified, peaceful world governed by a theocratic monarchy; and his well-meaning Defense of Galileo, which may have done Galileo more harm than good because of Campanella's previous conviction for heresy. But Campanella's philosophical poems are where his most forceful and undiluted ideas reside. His poetry is where his faith in observable and experimental sciences, his astrological and occult wisdom, his ideas about deism, his anti-Aristotelianism, and his calls for religious and secular reform most put him at odds with both civil and church authorities. For this volume, Sherry Roush has selected Campanella's best and most idiosyncratic poems, which are masterpieces of sixteenth-century Italian lyrics, displaying a questing mind of great, if unorthodox, brilliance, and showing Campanella's passionate belief in the intrinsic harmony between the sacred and secular.

Dans la vie de Campanella (1568-1639), la réalité dépasse sans cesse la fiction. Il a été un authentique personnage de roman et l'historien n'a besoin d'ajouter aucun détail pour révéler un parcours fait d'indépendance ombrageuse, de suspicions récurrentes, d'aventures dramatiques, de prisons et de tortures, de retournements surprenants et de dénouements imprévus. Fils d'un Calabrais analphabète, il devint un philosophe de renom international et l'auteur d'une œuvre immense (et touffue), dont la plus grande partie fut rédigée, grâce à sa prodigieuse mémoire, au cours de trente années de prison. Il aurait dû être condamné à mort comme hérétique récidiviste. Mais, soumis à une torture de près de quarante heures, il feignit la folie et échappa à la peine capitale. De ses geôles il envoya avec un aplomb surprenant lettre sur lettre aux papes, à des cardinaux influents, aux souverains d'Espagne, aux archiducs autrichiens, et aussi à Galilée. Réputé pour sa science des étoiles, il devint après sa libération des prisons napolitaines l'astrologue confidentiel d'Urbain VIII, à qui un horoscope annonçait une mort prochaine. Mais le pape, contraint par la conjoncture religieuse de l'époque, ne put lui maintenir son appui et favorisa sa fuite. S'étant rendu en France, Campanella y fut durant les dernières années de sa vie un conseiller de Richelieu pour les affaires italiennes. Sa dernière intervention publique fut, à la demande d'Anne d'Autriche et de Richelieu, l'établissement de l'horoscope du dauphin qui venait de naître, le futur Louis XIV Un tel personnage, auteur à la fois de La Cité du soleil et d'une Apologie de Galilée, prophète millénariste et ennemi d'Aristote et de Machiavel, constitue une énigme, surtout si l'on tient compte de ses retournements - plus ou moins sincères - et des zones d'ombre qui subsistent à son sujet. Qui était-il vraiment ? Quel était le fond de sa pensée ? Quel dossier pour les historiens que cette grande figure de l'histoire culturelle italienne - et occidentale - encore peu connue hors des frontières de la Péninsule !.
