Abstract

In this paper the author reflects comparatively on a specific issue dealt with by Giordano Bruno and Ibn Rushd: mental happiness. Mental happiness is intended here either as felicity through thinking or as felicity of thinking. The philosophical link between Averroës and Giordano Bruno is by now soundly established and the paper is rather a theoretical than an historical analysis regarding Bruno’s “Averroism”.

Keywords

Giordano Bruno; Ibn Rushd (Averroës); Bruno’s Averroistic gnoseological framework; mental happiness
