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”. |

Although personally he had been a practicing Muslim, in the Western philosophical tradition Averroes has always had a reputation for being an unbeliever. Some aspects of Averroes’ thought, including the doctrine of the so-called ‘double truth’ and his noetic, could justify such a misinterpretation. Also Giordano Bruno can be labeled as an ‘averroistic’ unbeliever, but only because he viewed the historical religions as nomoi, ‘fake’ laws with the purpose of ruling the masses. The metamorphosis of Averroes from belief to disbelief, even through Bruno, has prepared the ground for the libertine tradition of the seventeenth and later centuries. |
