Modern Science Precursor: Infinity and Unity in the Thought of Giordano Bruno

Abstract

The contribution of Giordano Bruno to the configuration of modern science is analyzed in this article, based on his writes in contrast to the context in which his work was developed. This Italian thinker of the beginning of the renascence is considered one of the precursors of the modern science. My analysis is focused more on understanding the relationship between the two concepts in Bruno’s world vision: the infinite and the unit. Although states the concept of infinite and homogeneous space his contribution is not traceable in a mathematical, experimental or technical field, like Galileo contribution is, the values that drive his intellectual searching has allowed all modern science goes through the curiosity spirit, love for knowledge and research.
