De Magia

Source verified · September 2026

Giordano Bruno’s "De Magia" is a philosophical exploration of magic as a natural and intellectual art, rooted in Renaissance theories of sympathy, imagination, and the hidden powers of the cosmos. Historically important for linking occult thought with humanist philosophy, it presents reflections on the mechanisms of magical action, the role of the mind, and the relationship between nature and divinity.

About Giordano Bruno

Giordano Bruno (1548–1600) was an Italian philosopher, cosmologist, and Dominican friar whose writings explored memory, Hermeticism, the infinite universe, and the relation between nature and divinity. His synthesis of metaphysical speculation, Renaissance magic, and philosophical daring made him a foundational figure in the history of Western esotericism.
