Book excerpt: Probablemente ningún juicio y veredicto ha suscitado tantas interpretaciones y controversias como el de Galileo Galilei. Historiadores, filósofos, novelistas, dramaturgos, periodistas religiosos y científicos se han aproximado a él acentuando un aspecto de la historia, pero a menudo olvidando (u ocultando) otros. A pesar de ello, el caso Galileo se ha convertido en un auténtico mito en la conciencia colectiva, pero el desconocimiento de lo que realmente ocurrió es alarmante. Este libro, escrito por dos de los mayores especialistas en Galileo, trata de aclarar el proceso en el convencimiento de que la verdad es más satisfactoria y provocadora que la propaganda.

Download or read book Galileo ciencia y religi n written by Antonio Beltrán Marí and published by Grupo Planeta (GBS). This book was released on 2001 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los articulos que componen este libro tienen a Galileo y su obra como centro basico de interes. El primer articulo, sobre tres sentidos de la fisica de Aristoteles, y el ultimo, sobre el supuesto dialogo entre ciencia y religion, enmarcan historica y teoricamente un trayecto que se inicia con el estudio de algunos aspectos cientificos y filosoficos de la obra de Galileo. Cuales son los elementos caracteristicos de la cosmologia de Galileo? Que relaciones existen entre el geocentrismo de su epoca de Pisa y el copernicanismo de su madurez? Inicia Galileo el nuevo paradigma, como suele decirse, o puede verse su concepcion como un paradigma intermedio entre el aristotelico y el newtoniano? Son tratables estas cuestiones en terminos de cambios paradigmaticos? Cual fue la genesis del Dialogo? Otros articulos se centran en algunos temas relevantes de las relaciones de Galileo con la Iglesia. Que sucedio en casa de Bellarmino el 26 de febrero de 1616? Ha aportado la apologetica reciente un documento decisivo para esta cuestion central del caso Galileo? Puede aducirse la falta de pruebas de Galileo como una razon del rechazo y condena de su copernicanismo por parte de la Iglesia, como intentan sostener los apologistas del siglo XVII y los actuales? Como se las arregla la Iglesia en 1820 para aceptar y permitir el copernicanismo y pretender que no ha caido en contradiccion? Que recomposicion del caso de Galileo se requiere para ello? Se comentan tambien el caso Paschini, asi como algunas publicaciones fruto del trabajo de la comision de estudios galileanos nombrada por Juan PabloII.

Book Science and Faith within Reason

Download or read book Science and Faith within Reason written by Jaume Navarro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists, historians, philosophers and theologians often engage in debates on the limitations and mutual interactions of their respective fields of study. Serious discussions are often overshadowed by the mass-produced popular and semi-popular literature on science and religion, as well as by the political agendas of many of the actors in these debates. For some, reducing religion and science to forms of social discourse is a possible way out from epistemological overlapping between them; yet is there room for religious faith only when science dissolves into one form of social discourse? The religion thus rescued would have neither rational legitimisation nor metaphysical validity, but if both scientific and religious theories try to make absolute claims on all possible aspects of reality then conflict between them seems almost inevitable. In this book leading authors in the field of science and religion, including William Carroll, Steve Fuller, Karl Giberson and Roger Trigg, highlight the oft-neglected and profound philosophical foundations that underlie some of the most frequent questions at the boundary between science and religion: the reality of knowledge, and the notions of creation, life and design. In tune with Mariano Artigas’s work, the authors emphasise that these are neither religious nor scientific but serious philosophical questions.

Book The Roman Inquisition

  • Author : Thomas F. Mayer
  • Publisher : University of Pennsylvania Press
  • Release : 2015-04-15
  • ISBN : 0812246551
  • Pages : 368 pages

Download or read book The Roman Inquisition written by Thomas F. Mayer and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few legal events loom as large in early modern history as the trial of Galileo. Frequently cast as a heroic scientist martyred to religion or as a scapegoat of papal politics, Galileo undoubtedly stood at a watershed moment in the political maneuvering of a powerful church. But to fully understand how and why Galileo came to be condemned by the papal courts--and what role he played in his own downfall--it is necessary to examine the trial within the context of inquisitional law. With this final installment in his magisterial trilogy on the seventeenth-century Roman Inquisition, Thomas F. Mayer has provided the first comprehensive study of the legal proceedings against Galileo. By the time of the trial, the Roman Inquisition had become an extensive corporatized body with direct authority over local courts and decades of documented jurisprudence. Drawing deeply from those legal archives as well as correspondence and other printed material, Mayer has traced the legal procedure from Galileo's first precept in 1616 to his second trial in 1633. With an astonishing mastery of the legal underpinnings and bureaucratic workings of inquisitorial law, Mayer's work compares the course of legal events to other possible outcomes within due process, showing where the trial departed from standard procedure as well as what available recourse Galileo had to shift the direction of the trial. The Roman Inquisition: Trying Galileo presents a detailed and corrective reconstruction of the actions both in the courtroom and behind the scenes that led to one of history's most notorious verdicts.

Book The Refracted Muse

  • Publisher : University of Chicago Press
  • Release : 2017-08-07
  • ISBN : 022646573X
  • Pages : 325 pages

Download or read book The Refracted Muse written by Enrique Garcia Santo-Tomas and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galileo never set foot on the Iberian Peninsula, yet, as Enrique García Santo-Tomás unfolds in The Refracted Muse, the news of his work with telescopes brought him to surprising prominence—not just among Spaniards working in the developing science of optometry but among creative writers as well. While Spain is often thought to have taken little notice of the Scientific Revolution, García Santo-Tomás tells a different story, one that reveals Golden Age Spanish literature to be in close dialogue with the New Science. Drawing on the work of writers such as Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca, and Quevedo, he helps us trace the influence of science and discovery on the rapidly developing and highly playful genre of the novel. Indeed, García Santo-Tomás makes a strong case that the rise of the novel cannot be fully understood without taking into account its relationship to the scientific discoveries of the period.

Book Defending Copernicus and Galileo

Download or read book Defending Copernicus and Galileo written by Maurice A. Finocchiaro and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-01-15 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although recent works on Galileo’s trial have reached new heights of erudition, documentation, and sophistication, they often exhibit inflated complexities, neglect 400 years of historiography, or make little effort to learn from Galileo. This book strives to avoid such lacunae by judiciously comparing and contrasting the two Galileo affairs, that is, the original controversy over the earth’s motion ending with his condemnation by the Inquisition in 1633, and the subsequent controversy over the rightness of that condemnation continuing to our day. The book argues that the Copernican Revolution required that the hypothesis of the earth’s motion be not only constructively supported with new reasons and evidence, but also critically defended from numerous old and new objections. This defense in turn required not only the destructive refutation, but also the appreciative understanding of those objections in all their strength. A major Galilean accomplishment was to elaborate such a reasoned, critical, and fair-minded defense of Copernicanism. Galileo’s trial can be interpreted as a series of ecclesiastic attempts to stop him from so defending Copernicus. And an essential thread of the subsequent controversy has been the emergence of many arguments claiming that his condemnation was right, as well as defenses of Galileo from such criticisms. The book’s particular yet overarching thesis is that today the proper defense of Galileo can and should have the reasoned, critical, and fair-minded character which his own defense of Copernicus had.

Book On Pythagoreanism

  • Author : Gabriele Cornelli
  • Publisher : Walter de Gruyter
  • Release : 2013-10-29
  • ISBN : 3110318504
  • Pages : 552 pages

Download or read book On Pythagoreanism written by Gabriele Cornelli and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the conference “On Pythagoreanism”, held in Brasilia in 2011, was to bring together leading scholars from all over the world to define the status quaestionis for the ever-increasing interest and research on Pythagoreanism in the 21st century. The papers included in this volume exemplify the variety of topics and approaches now being used to understand the polyhedral image of one of the most fascinating and long-lasting intellectual phenomena in Western history. Cornelli’s paper opens the volume by charting the course of Pythagorean studies over the past two centuries. The remaining contributions range chronologically from Pythagoras and the early Pythagoreans of the archaic period (6th-5th centuries BCE) through the classical, hellenistic and late antique periods, to the eighteenth century. Thematically they treat the connections of Pythagoreanism with Orphism and religion, with mathematics, metaphysics and epistemology and with politics and the Pythagorean way of life.
