In the context of a living and animated universe, Bruno needs mediations in the space between, on the one hand, the finite nature of man and, on the other hand, the infinite divinity explained in nature to support the magic theory of his Latin work. Accurately, the existence of demons in Neoplatonic systems comes to fulfill that purpose.\n\nI maintain that there is continuity between the demonological doctrine that Bruno presents in his Latin work and the metaphysics and cosmology of his Italian dialogues. This continuity is verified in the presence of two important philosophical categories of Bruneian thought which is in the demonology of De magia naturali (1590): the imagination and bonds. Thus, firstly, I will inquire about the reception of Neoplatonic doctrine in the demonology of the 15th and 16th centuries, from which Bruno develops the theoretical and philosophical framework of his demonological doctrine. Secondly, I will analyze the nature and function of the demons in De magia naturali and their relationship with the imagination and bonds in the Nolan philosophy. Con Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) asistimos a la recuperación de doctrinas neoplatónicas y herméticas que conducen a una comprensión animista y dinámica de la naturaleza, así como a una exaltación del hombre en tanto conoce y actúa sobre el mundo. En el contexto de un universo vivo y animado, Bruno necesita mediaciones en el espacio que hay entre, por un lado, la naturaleza finita del hombre y, por el otro, la divinidad infinita explicada en la naturaleza para fundamentar la teoría mágica de sus obras latinas. Precisamente, la existencia de los demonios en los sistemas neoplatónicos viene a cumplir con este propósito.\n\nSostenemos que existe una continuidad entre la doctrina demonológica que Bruno presenta en su obra latina y la metafísica y cosmología de sus diálogos italianos. Esta continuidad se verifica en la presencia de dos categorías filosóficas importantes del pensamiento bruniano presente en la demonología del De magia naturali (1590): imaginación y vínculos. Así pues, en primer lugar, indagaremos la recepción de la doctrina neoplatónica en la demonología de los siglos XV y XVI, a partir de la cual Bruno desarrolla el marco teórico y filosófico de su doctrina demonológica. En segundo lugar, estudiaremos la naturaleza y función de los demonios en el De magia naturali y su relación con la imaginación y los vínculos en la filosofía del Nolano. application/pdf text/html http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/8060 10.34096/petm.v41.n2.8060 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/8060/8205 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/8060/8219 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol 41 No 2 (2020); 5-22 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 41 Núm. 2 (2020); 5-22 2683-9636 0325-2280 Giordano Bruno Renaissance Demons Imagination Bonds Giordano Bruno Renacimiento Demonios Imaginación Vínculos Demons and imagination in Giordano Bruno Demonios e imaginación en Giordano Bruno info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=patris&d=8060_oai
