Description

Explore the scientific and theological impact of Galileo's theories in seventeenth-century France. This scholarly work examines how his astronomical and mechanical discoveries, alongside his trial for heresy, influenced European science and philosophy. Because of France's tradition of Gallican independence from Rome, Copernican and Galilean ideas found a unique space for discussion and promotion. This book places these scientific shifts within a national context. Individual chapters trace the development of these ideas through the writings of influential figures such as Mersenne, Gassendi, Peiresc, and Descartes. It is an essential resource for understanding the intersection of science, literature, and religion during a transformative era in European history.
