| Summary |
Arrested by the Inquisition, Bruno was convicted of heresy and eventually burned at the stake years before Galileo's famous trial. Yet even death could not stem the growing tide of this brilliant thinker's influence--a philosophy that inspired some of the greatest minds in history, including Galileo, Newton, Spinoza, and even Shakespeare. |
