There are some figures of the Scientific Revolution who stand out in the annals of history. As we study a few of those monumental figures, we'll explore the following questions:

  1. Why did Copernicus dedicate his scientific book, On the Revolutions, to the pope?
  2. How did Galileo mount a religious defense of Copernicus' heliocentric model of the solar system?
  3. According to Bacon, in what sense did logic become a problematic discipline within the study of philosophy?

Recommended Reading: Copernicus, Nicholas. On the Revolutions. 1543.
Galilei, Galileo. Siderius Nuncius. 1610.
Galilei, Galileo. Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina of Tuscany. 1615.
