Description

Explore the historical and philosophical tensions between scientific discovery and religious authority in Defending Copernicus and Galileo. This volume examines the trial of Galileo, whose theories regarding the motion of the Earth led to his condemnation by the Inquisition. The text provides a detailed comparison of that historical trial and the ongoing debates regarding the rightness of that condemnation that persist into the modern era. Part of the Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science series, this work offers a deep look into the defense of Copernican theory. It serves as a significant addition to the research on Galileo, providing a framework of fine distinctions to understand the conflict between scientific reasoning and institutional doctrine. For students, historians, and philosophy enthusiasts, this book offers a clear analysis of how these historical events continue to influence thought and debate today.
