Galileo’s Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems compares the Copernican or Heliocentric system with the Ptolemaic or Peripatetic, system of the cosmos. Published in Florence in 1632, it resulted in him being tried before the Inquisition. Using the dialogue form, Galileo masterfully shows the truth of the Copernican system that the Earth revolves around the Sun. The Dialogue is one of the most important treatises ever written. A work of supreme clarity and accessibility, it remains as accessible now as when it was published.

The founder of modern science and the embodiment of the conflict between science and faith, Galileo remains the most fascinating figure of his age. In this biography, James Reston Jr. provides a lively, vivid portrait of Galileo, taking the listener to the heart of this passionate, embattled, arrogant, and brilliant man.

Galileo Galilei began his career as a mathematician. Yet as fate would have it, he became far more than a numbers whiz. Here was a true Renaissance man; one who was greatly educated and a genuine lover of the arts. He was a fan of poets and a fine lute player. When in 1609 Galileo created his first telescope and turned his attention to the skies, everything changed.

Directing his polemics against the pedantry of his time, Galileo, as his own popularizer, addressed his writings to contemporary laymen. His support of Copernican cosmology, against the Church’s strong opposition, his development of a telescope, and his unorthodox opinions as a philosopher of science were the central concerns of his career and the subjects of four of his most important writings. Drake’s introductory essay place them in their biographical and historical context.

Testo fondamentale nell'evoluzione del nostro pensiero scientifico e filosofico. Concepita nel 1610, l’opera ebbe un tempo di composizione molto lungo, dovuto principalmente a periodi di infermità dello scienziato ed in seguito, a causa della condanna da parte del Sant'Uffizio nel 1616, al timore di dichiarare troppo apertamente la sua adesione al sistema copernicano. Dedicato a Ferdinando II de’ Medici, granduca di Toscana, il Dialogo, articolato in 4 giornate, si svolge tra il fiorentino Filippo Salviati, portavoce di Galileo, il veneziano Giovan Francesco Sagredo, uomo di ingegno e di ...

Più di ogni altro studioso del suo tempo, Galilei fu un sostenitore del metodo scientifico sperimentale, che altri scienziati avrebbero ripreso e adottato nel secolo successivo. Basti pensare a Isaac Newton, considerato il diretto successore di Galilei per le scoperte che fece sulla gravitazione universale, proprio a partire dagli studi dello stesso Galileo.

Primogénito de siete hermanos, astrónomo, filósofo, matemático y físico, su figura está íntimamente ligada a los gloriosos días del Renacimiento. Hombre interesado por casi todas las ciencias, su fama devino por un error lamentable: Desafiando las teorías aristotélicas en boga, demostró que la Vía Láctea no giraba alrededor de la tierra sino alrededor del sol.

Galileo Galilei grew up in a time when nearly everyone thought the Earth was the center of the universe and the Sun and the planets revolved around the Earth. His intellectual world was dominated by the work of the ancient philosopher Aristotle. Science as we know it today was just starting to emerge from the dark ages and it was blended with religion so that the two at were hard to distinguish between. Galileo's work included a radial improvement in a parlor toy called a spyglass.

Galileo Galilei’s contributions to modern science were so fundamental to a variety of fields that even though he died almost 400 years ago, his name retains international acclaim. This 17th-century natural philosopher is often credited with the invention of the telescope, thanks to his many discoveries using that specific instrument, and though he was not, in fact, its inventor, the myth still persists.

Astrophysicist and best-selling author Mario Livio draws on his own scientific expertise to provide captivating insights into how Galileo reached his bold new conclusions about the cosmos and the laws of nature. A freethinker who followed the evidence wherever it led him, Galileo was one of the most significant figures behind the scientific revolution. He believed that every educated person should know science as well as literature, and insisted on reaching the widest audience possible, publishing his books in Italian rather than Latin.

Understanding how brains produce consciousness is one of the great scientific challenges of our age. Some philosophers argue that consciousness is something "extra", beyond the physical workings of the brain. Others think that if we persist in our standard scientific methods, our questions about consciousness will eventually be answered. And some suggest that the mystery is so deep, it will never be solved.

Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaiuti de' Galilei, known just as Galileo, was an astronomer, physicist, and engineer from Pisa, modern-day Italy, who was regularly described as a polymath. Galileo has been called the "creator of observational astronomy," "father of modern-day physics," "father of the clinical technique," and "father of contemporary science," to name a few titles.

Las contribuciones de Galileo Galilei a la ciencia moderna fueron tan fundamentales para una variedad de campos que, aunque murió hace casi 400 años, su nombre conserva el reconocimiento internacional. A este filósofo natural del siglo XVII a menudo se le atribuye la invención del telescopio gracias a sus numerosos descubrimientos utilizando este instrumento específico, y aunque en verdad no fue su inventor, el mito aún persiste.

"Il pensiero logico, da solo, non ci può fornire conoscenze sul mondo dell'esperienza e termina in essa. Le proposizioni puramente logiche sono vuote davanti alla realtà. È grazie a questa conoscenza e soprattutto per averla fatta penetrare a colpi di martello nel mondo della scienza, che Galileo è diventato il padre della fisica moderna e soprattutto delle scienze naturali moderne". Albert Einstein.

In a time when our political and cultural views feel more polarized than ever, Tyson provides a much-needed antidote to so much of what divides us, while making a passionate case for the twin chariots of enlightenment—a cosmic perspective and the rationality of science. After thinking deeply about how science sees the world and about Earth as a planet, the human brain has the capacity to reset and recalibrates life’s priorities, shaping the actions we might take in response. No outlook on culture, society, or civilization remains untouched.

Il Dialogo sopra i due massimi sistemi del mondo è un celeberrimo trattato di Galileo Galilei, scritto sotto forma dialogica negli anni tra il 1624 e il 1630 e pubblicato nel 1632. L'opera, strutturata nel dialogo fra tre personaggi: Simplicio (che riprende il nome dell'antico filosofo del VI secolo Simplicio di Cilicia), Sagredo e Filippo Salviati, ebbe da subito un enorme successo, ma la Chiesa, che dapprima ne aveva concesso l'imprimatur, mutò radicalmente la sua posizione, inserendola nell'Indice dei libri proibiti nel 1633.
