The Place and the Role of Astrology in The City of the Sun by Tommaso Campanella
Ivana Skuhala Karasman
; Institut za filozofiju, Zagreb, Hrvatska
Sažetak
The Renaissance, like no other period in the history of philosophical thought, combines and includes the most diverse elements of human knowledge and belief, including astrology. Accordingly, influences of various philosophical ideas, but also those of magic and astrology, which is at the centre of my interest, become apparent in the example of the construction of an ideal city in Campanella’s The City of the Sun. Campanella’s city thus manifests in itself the perfection of the cosmic order, where the relationship between the celestial order and the terrestrial is established on the basis of astrology, demonstrating in the process both symbolic understanding of numbers as well as their magical role. A city thus constructed also represents the encyclopaedic system of knowledge.
