| Sumario: | Giulio Cesare Vanini was burnt for atheism in Toulouse on February 9, 1619. Schopenhauer quotes him thirteen times in his writings and shows that he has read his works, apparently apologetic but in reality materialistic and atheistic: the Amphitheatrum aeternae providentiae (1615) and the De admirandis (1616). The philosophically most relevant quote is found in the essay On the freedom of the human will, where the Italian philosopher, born in Puglia in 1585, is defined by Schopenhauer as "predecessor" for having denied the existence of free will. |
