Paperback. Etat : NEW. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex history of scientific discovery and religious authority, focusing on the infamous persecution of Galileo Galilei by the Inquisition. It challenges widely held misconceptions and historical inaccuracies surrounding this event, arguing that Galileo's conflict with the Church stemmed not from his scientific theories themselves, but from his combative approach and defiance of established authority. The author meticulously examines the intellectual landscape of 16th and 17th-century Europe, highlighting the Church's historical support for scientific inquiry and its patronage of prominent astronomers like Copernicus and Kepler. By contrasting Galileo's experience with that of his contemporaries, the book reveals a nuanced picture, where religious and scientific spheres intersected in intricate ways. Exploring themes of intellectual freedom, dogma, and the evolving relationship between faith and reason, the author invites readers to reconsider the Galileo affair within its historical context. This book ultimately underscores the importance of understanding the complexities of historical narratives, encouraging us to move beyond simplistic interpretations of the past.
