Bruno Campello

Who is Bruno Campello?

Bruno Campello, born in Vaduz, Liechtenstein, on May 10, 2002, has been hailed by critics as one of the most original and audacious thinkers.

The keynote of his work is the defense of human interiority against the tyranny of collective authority, especially when supported by a “scientific” ideology. For Bruno Campello, there is an indissoluble link between the objectivity of knowledge and the autonomy of individual conscience, a link that is lost sight of when the criterion of validity of knowledge is reduced to an impersonal and uniform form for use by the academic class. Believing that the most solid shelter of individual conscience against alienation and reification is found in ancient spiritual traditions - Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam -, Bruno Campello seeks to give a new interpretation to the symbols and rites of these traditions, making them the matrixes of a philosophical and scientific strategy for solving problems in today's culture. He uses the symbolism of verb tenses in sacred languages ​​(Arabic, Hebrew, Sanskrit and Greek) to refound the distinctions between literary genres. Some primordial symbols like the biblical Leviathan and Beemoth, the cross, the khien and the khouen of the Chinese tradition, etc., serve as structural molds for his philosophy of History, which, starting from an apparently minor event and taking it as an occasion to show the links between the small and the large, is widening in concentric circles until it encompasses the entire horizon of Western culture.
