Galileo in Rome: A Chronical of 500 Days de Mariano Artigas

Galileo in Rome: A Chronical of 500 Days

Autor Mariano Artigas, William R. Shea
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 noi 1998
New research shows the true reason why galileo was condemned.Galileo is one of a small group of thinkers who transformed Western culture. But to be at the forefront of ideas was a dangerous position to take at the turn of the sixteenth century, bringing the philosopher into constant conflict with the might of the curch. Galileo made six long visits to Rome in an attempt to get the church on his side. He was anxious to raise his profile in the Eternal City, where he spent some 500 days, meeting the pope, high-ranking ecclesiastics, and members of the literary establishment as well as other scientists.It offers a regorous, but easy-to-understand, account of what happened during Galileo's visit to Rome. In the end, he overplayed his hand and the outcome was his dramatic condemnation by the church. Based on extensive archive research, the author paint a far more complex picture of the actions and motivations of both sides than has been published before, and show how it is that Galileo's failure to impress the church has not prevented him from becoming one of the leading thinkers of the day.

Recenzii

Galileo in Rome represents the finest in modern Galileo scholarship.
In their very readable, clear, and concise accounting of Galileo's life and trial, the authors concentrate on the six visits that Galileo made to Rome, exploring what happened during those visits, the theological and political reasons behind them, and their ramifications.... Most accessible...highly recommended for academic and public library collections.
Drawing on a wealth of letters and archives, the authors construct a nuanced portrait of the complex web of political and religious institutional forces that constituted 17th-century Rome, showing that the trial of Galileo was as much the product of tension between the pope and the grand duke of Tuscany (Galileo's patron) and of Galileo's arrogance when dealing with Jesuit astronomers as it was a result of the oppressive Inquisition.
In recounting the actual people with whom Galileo fenced, as well as the theological doctrines involved, the authors demythologize the man. Their criticism makes Galileo as interesting a figure as ever.
A brilliant book about Galileo's six epochal trips to Rome. It will remain the most accessible and authoritative account of his relations with the Church in the years of his greatest discoveries.
Lucid and elegantly balanced, this story of Galileo's trials edges the Church into a fairer light.
This is a lively and persuasive re-telling of the story of Galileo's life and career. It is in the details that issues of interpretation constantly arise, but the authors have navigated the subject's minefields in convincing fashion. A readable and authoritative piece of work.
Organizing the story around Galileo's six trips to Rome, as the authors do, works very well. Their use of Galileo's correspondence gives the narrative helpful continuity. The book has a freshness that is hard to achieve in a terrain so well travelled.
Shea and Artigas have written a work exceptional for its rigor and clarity.
