Lecture by Professor Fátima Gordillo on the Renaissance philosopher Giordano Bruno, given at the New Acropolis headquarters in Madrid in February 2024. In this talk we will focus primarily on his work as a natural philosopher who encompassed not only revolutionary ideas about the universe, but also a profound heroic sense that led him to confront with unusual courage the strong religious, philosophical and scientific dogmas of his time. In Bruno we will undoubtedly find a fascinating character with interesting relationships with Platonism and hermetic philosophy, which are reflected in his work, his life and his extraordinary thought. On the 424th anniversary of the death at the stake of the philosopher Giordano Bruno, we remember the figure and work of this enigmatic character who defended the infinity of the universe, masterfully developed the art of memory, gave philosophy classes at the best universities in Europe, taught his art to nobles and kings and finally died, executed by the Inquisition in Rome on February 17, 1600, in Campo dei Fiori. Fátima Gordillo (Granada, 1972) is a journalist, consultant and teacher of oratory and theater. She has worked as an editor for the newspaper Granada Digital and the magazines Computer Hoy and Tek'n'Life, among others. During the last few years, her professional work has focused on the media, public relations, the publishing world and technology, in addition to having given numerous conferences and seminars on philosophy, ethics, technology and symbolism, to name a few topics. She currently coordinates the digital magazine Revista Esfinge.
