Daniel Špelda:
Was Bruno burned at the stake because of his cosmological ideas?


2012, Volume 45, Issue 2, pp. 61-87

Abstract

In his recently published book Michael White presents an interpretation of historical events based on the concept of the conflicting relationship between science and religion. By examinating the reasons for which Giordano Bruno was burned, the article tries to prove that the conflicting model lacks credibility.
