  Tommaso Campanella - LoveToKnow 1911
TOMMASO CAMPANELLA (1568-1639), Italian Renaissance philosopher, was born at Stilo in Calabria.
He was well treated at Rome by the pope, but on the outbreak of a new conspiracy headed by his pupil, Tommaso Pignatelli, he was persuaded to go to Paris (1634),(1634), where he was received with marked favour by Cardinal Richelieu.
Thus Campanella, though neither an original nor a systematic thinker, is among the precursors, on the one hand, of modern empirical science, and on the other of Descartes and Spinoza.

 Tommaso Campanella (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Tommaso Campanella was born in Stilo, a town in Calabria, one of the southern regions of Italy, in 1568.
In his attack on the Aristotelian tradition, Campanella criticized the doctrines of form and of privation; of the four elements as principles of the sublunary world; of matter as privation; of the derivation of celestial heat from the friction of the spheres; and of the distinction between natural and violent motion.
Campanella begins the “Physiologia” by stating that when the first Being—most powerful, most wise and best—decided to create the world, defined as its “effigy” and the “image” of its infinite goods, it unfolded an “almost infinite” space in which that effigy was placed.

The sun and the earth are its principal parts and the common source of animal life and movement, and of the sensation which is also found in all material things, light, air, metals, and wood.
Prior to Descartes, to whom he was otherwise superior in erudition, Campanella demonstrated the absurdity of scepticism and undertook to establish by psychologico-ontological argument the existence of God against Atheism.
It is noteworthy that whilst Bacon rejected the astronomical theory of Galileo, Campanella favoured it, and wrote a brilliant defence of its author.

 Tommaso Campanella and the Transformation of the World Canadian Journal of History - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Campanella (1568-1639) is well known in Italy as the dominant Italian intellectual figure between Marsilio Ficino in the fifteenth century and Giambattista Vico in the eighteenth, and his two major philosophical works, The City of the Sun and the Metaphysics have long received critical attention from students of Italian philosophy and literature.
Campanella desperately and tirelessly strove to understand and pass judgment on the theories of Galilean science and the modem centralizing, absolutist nation-state, but he did by using the syncretic, imperialist, and apocalyptic intellectual tools of a bygone era.
Campanella arrived in Paris at the same time that Marin Mersenne was establishing an empiricist program directed against the particularly Renaissance strains of philosophy, such as animism, Hermeticism, and the occult, that were dominant in the thought of Campanella, Giordano Bruno, and Telesio.

 Headley, J.M.: Tommaso Campanella and the Transformation of the World.
Tommaso Campanella (1568-1639) is one of the most fascinating, if hitherto inaccessible, intellectuals of the Italian Renaissance.
For all its obscurely magical and astrological intricacies, Campanella's entire intellectual endeavor expresses an effort to impose a distinctive order and direction upon the major issues and forces of the age different from that which was shortly to prevail with the new Galilean science and the Leviathan state.
In the process of identifying and engaging these issues and imparting in some instances something of his own, he managed to mobilize and deploy many of the salient principles of late medieval and Renaissance culture, often cast in a curiously modern hue and aligned with the new forces of the age.

Tommaso Campanella, filosofo (Stilo di Calabria 1568-Parigi 1639) entrato ancor giovane nell'ordine domenicano; insofferente della disciplina e delle forme stantie di pensiero trasmesse nei conventi calabresi, ben presto si urtò con le autorità ecclesiastiche locali.
Campanella muove dal pensiero di Telesio assumendone la visione unitaria e dinamica dell'universo, ma fin da principio egli volge questa tesi a un'interpretazione religiosa dell'universo stesso.
Campanella afferma che a Dio ci porta immediatamente la conoscenza di noi, in quanto ci avvertiamo come principiati, e quindi in un certo senso la conoscenza di Dio può dirsi innata: essa però è confermata dalle prove che partono dalla conoscenza delle cose e del loro ordine e della loro perfezione.

The agreement which, dogmatism assumes, exists between our mode of conceiving things and their mode of being, is, according to Campanella, a consequence of the analogy of beings, and this, in turn, is the consequence of an indemonstrable truth: their unitary origin.

 TOMMASO CAMPANELLA
Nato a Stilo in Calabria, nel 1568, Gian Domenico Campanella entrò molto giovane nell'ordine domenicano a Napoli assumendo il nome di Tommaso, ma ben presto le sue idee filosofiche gli procurano una serie di processi per eresia e di imprigionamenti che si protrasse dal 1592 al 1598.
Affidato alla custodia del Sant'Uffizio di Roma, Campanella cominciò tuttavia a rivolgere alla monarchia francese le stesse speranze politiche rivolte in precedenza alla corona spagnola e, quando a Napoli si scoprì una nuova congiura antispagnola organizzata da un suo discepolo, si rifugiò a Parigi, dove visse fino al 1639, curando la pubblicazione dei propri scritti.
Dal canto suo, Campanella dichiara di aver imparato dall' " anatomia ", cioè dall' investigazione diretta, di un filo d' erba o di una formica più di quanto avrebbe potuto imparare da tutti i libri letti da Pico.
