Note 637 — Chapter IX · BRUNO IN THE HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY

Cf. Brunnhofer, p. xix: “The longer I consider the question, the more probable it appears to me that Spinoza would have been impossible, historically, if Bruno had had time to develop the rich fulness of his ideas in a systematic form.” Cf. p. 81, where, however, he lays too much stress on verbal analogies between Bruno’s Summa and the Ethica of Spinoza.
