Abstract
Renowned as a “new Socrates” and “the first of the new philosophers,” Bernardino Telesio became a landmark for Renaissance thinkers and men of science, developing a new approach to the study of natural philosophy, in contrast to the scholastic Aristotelian tradition, and criticizing the medical science of Galen. His thought influenced such eminent authors of early modern philosophy, as Agostino Doni, Giordano Bruno, Francis Bacon, Tommaso Campanella, and Thomas Hobbes.
