Abstract
Desde hace tiempo, la historia de la incredulidad
religiosa, el ateísmo y la libertad
de pensamiento han constituido esencialmente
una historia intelectual, basada en
el estudio de libros impresos y manuscritos
clandestinos. Asimismo, se ha focalizado
en autores, la más de las veces en estudios
de carácter biográfico y, en ocasiones, ha
pretendido reconstruir grupos y redes de
pensadores que pertenecían a una cultura
básicamente escrita. El objetivo del presente
artículo es mostrar, a través del análisis
de un estudio particular como el de la
Venecia de los siglos XVI y XVII, cómo
el fenómeno del disenso religioso, incluso
el de matriz radical como el ateísmo o la
irreligiosidad, ha formado una dimensión
compleja en la historia cultural y social de
la Edad moderna, no anclándose rígida y
necesariamente en grupos sociales o intelectuales
sino expandiéndose a sectores
mucho más amplios
For some time, the history of religious incredulity, atheism and freedom of thought, has been primarily an intellectual history, based on the study of printed books and clandestine manuscripts. Furthermore this one has been focused on authors, mainly biographies, and sometimes this History has tried to define groups and network of thinkers who belonged to a written culture. This article attempts to show, through the particular study of Venice in XVIth and XVIIth centuries, that religious dissent, even this one that contains a radical germ like atheism or irreligiousness, has created a complex dimension in Early modern cultural and social history. And all this may be done without been unyielding and necessarily anchored in social and intellectual groups but by enlarging this reading of the history to wider sectors
