spelling I28-R145-13890_oai2025-11-17 Bianchi, Agustín 2023-12-26 Nolan’s restoration of authentic philosophy and the authentic image of the universe requires an “expulsion of the triumphant beast”, that is, a reform that purges the vices and harmful customs that, according to Bruno, caused the crisis that Europe was living in the 16th century. This is the main premise of the Spaccio de la Bestia Trionfante (1584). From this work, the nolana filosofia begins to turn from a metaphysical-ontological perspective towards an ethical-political perspective. In Bruno´s thought, religion is part of the law that constitutes the State; a fundamental instrument for promoting peace within civil society and a healthy relationship between men, Nature and God. For this reason, the Brunian reflection on the reform of morality and religion present in the Spaccio can be understood as his political philosophy. Thus proposed, the political philosophy of Nolano will have as its main objective the reunification of divine law, natural law and civil law and the recovery of the true usefulness of religion as instrumentum regni, that is, as a political-pedagogical tool to guarantee good coexistence in society and virtue in men. We propose, then, that in the passage from an ontological reflection to the civil-political perspective, the concepts of vicissitudine, coincidentia oppositorum and vinculum amoris are fundamental. La restauración nolana de la auténtica filosofía y de la auténtica imagen del universo exige una “expulsión de la bestia triunfante”, es decir, una reforma que purgue los vicios y las nocivas costumbres causantes según Bruno de la crisis que estaba viviendo la Europa del siglo XVI. Esta es la premisa principal del Spaccio de la Bestia Trionfante (1584). A partir de esta obra, la filosofía Nolana comienza a virar desde una perspectiva metafísico-ontológica hacia una perspectiva ético-política. En el pensamiento bruniano, la religión es parte de la ley que constituye el Estado; instrumento fundamental para propiciar la paz dentro de la sociedad civil y la sana relación entre los hombres, la Naturaleza y Dios. Por este motivo, puede entenderse la reflexión bruniana sobre la reforma de la moral y la religión presente en el Spaccio como su filosofía política. Así planteada, la filosofía política del Nolano tendrá como principal objetivo reunificar ley divina, ley natural y ley civil y recuperar la verdadera utilidad de la religión como instrumentum regni, es decir, como herramienta político-pedagógica para garantizar la buena convivencia en la sociedad y la virtud en los hombres. Proponemos, entonces, que en el pasaje desde una reflexión ontológica hacia el plano civil-político son importantes los conceptos de vicissitudine, coincidentia oppositorum y vinculum amoris. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/13890 10.34096/cf.n81.13890 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/13890/13248 Derechos de autor 2023 Cuadernos de filosofía Cuadernos de filosofía; Núm. 81 (2023) 2362-485X 0590-1901 Giordano Bruno, Naturalism, Political Philosophy, Renaissance Philosophy Giordano Bruno, Naturalismo, Filosofía Política, Filosofía del Renacimiento Naturalism, Politics and Religion in Giordano Bruno Naturalismo, política y religión en Giordano Bruno info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=cufilo&d=13890_oai
