李卓吾和布鲁诺,一个是中国晚明著名思想家,一个是欧洲文艺复兴时期意大利大哲学家。虽则如此,把他们联到一起,总象有点不伦。所以,我对说李卓吾是中国布鲁诺式的“哲学烈士”,就一直感到很迷惘。布鲁诺因为宣传哥白尼学说,于一六○○年被罗马教廷活活烧死。李卓吾因为反对程朱理学,于一六○二年(明万历三十年)在狱中自刎。他们遇难前后相差只两年,而且都是犯 Li Zhuohu and Bruno, one is a famous late Ming Chinese thinker, one is the European Renaissance Italian great philosopher. Even so, bringing them together is always a bit unlucky. Therefore, I have always been very confused by saying that Li Zhuo-wu is a Chinese Bruno-style “philosopher of martyrs.” Bruno was promoted to death by the Holy See in 1660 for promoting Copernican theory. Because of his opposition to Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, Li Che-wu was self-proclaimed in prison in 162 (Ming Wanli) for 30 years. They were only two years before and after their death and were guilty of all crimes
