"Twenty years before his famous trial, Galileo Galilei had spent two years carefully considering how the results of his own telescopic observations of the heavens as well as his convictions about the truth of the Copernican theory could be aligned with the Catholic Church's position on biblical interpretation and the authority of the magisterium. The product of these two years was an unpublished letter to the Grand Duchess Christina of Tuscany, the mother of his patron, Cosimo II de' Medici"--Page 4 of cover.

In a startling reinterpretation of the evidence, Stillman Drake here advances the hypothesis that Galileo's trial and condemnation by the Inquisition was not caused by his defiance of the Church, but by the hostility of other philosophers.

Galileo is aptly known as 'the father of modern science'. But there is much more to him than his well-known discoveries in physics and astronomy, and his infamous clash with the Catholic church. John Heilbron's biography presents a multi-talented but difficult man - writer, philosopher, scientist, musician, and artist.

Die Figur Galileo Galilei ist für die europäische Wissenschaftsgeschichte, für die Kulturwissenschaften und für eine wissensgeschichtlich orientierte Literatur- und Kunstwissenschaft von großem Interesse. In diesem Band werden die Überschneidungen, Wechselwirkungen und Transferprozesse zwischen den wissenschaftlichen und kulturellen Dimensionen untersucht, die für Galileis Profilierung als frühneuzeitlicher Wissenschaftler ebenso wichtig sind wie für die im weiteren Sinn kulturelle Wahrnehmung seiner Entdeckungen und seiner Schriften - vor allem in Literatur und Kunst. Der Band ist interdisziplinär konzipiert, um die fachlichen Einzelperspektiven von Literatur-, Kunst- und Kulturwissenschaftlern sowie Wissenschaftshistorikern zusammenzuführen. Analysiert werden Formen und Funktionen der Produktion, Konzeptualisierung und Repräsentation von Wissen sowie Aspekte der Diskussion und Diffusion von Galileis Wissensansprüchen im Kontext der Frühen Neuzeit. Mit dieser Fokussierung auf die im Schnittbereich verschiedener kultureller Formationen angesiedelte Etablierung Galileis liefert der Band somit einen Beitrag zur interdisziplinären Erforschung von Galileis Rolle und Rezeption in der europäischen Kultur- und Wissensgeschichte des 17. Jahrhunderts.

"Galileo Unbound traces the journey that brought us from Galileo's law of free fall to today's geneticists measuring evolutionary drift, entangled quantum particles moving among many worlds, and our lives as trajectories traversing a health space with thousands of dimensions. Remarkably, common themes persist that predict the evolution of species as readily as the orbits of planets or the collapse of stars into black holes. This book tells the history of spaces of expanding dimension and increasing abstraction and how they continue today to give new insight into the physics of complex systems.Galileo published the first modern law of motion, the Law of Fall, that was ideal and simple, laying the foundation upon which Newton built the first theory of dynamics. Early in the twentieth century, geometry became the cause of motion rather than the result when Einstein envisioned the fabric of space-time warped by mass and energy, forcing light rays to bend past the Sun. Possibly more radical was Feynman's dilemma of quantum particles taking all paths at once -- setting the stage for the modern fields of quantum field theory and quantum computing. Yet as concepts of motion have evolved, one thing has remained constant, the need to track ever more complex changes and to capture their essence, to find patterns in the chaos as we try to predict and control our world." -- Publisher's description.
