4.0 out of 5 stars
A must read for anyone interested in the Galileo affair.,
By Scott Franklin (franklis@dickinson.edu) (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Galileo, for Copernicanism and for the Church (Studi Galileiani) (Paperback)
Fantoli has written a remarkably well-balanced account of Galileo's "affair" with the church. The book does not take sides; it is seen that the church and Galileo both made numerous errors (some of ego, some of philosophy). Furthermore, Fantoli asserts that one cannot divorce the scientific argument from the political and social situations, a premise that helps understand some of the pope's actions. Meticulously documented with many footnotes and translations of primary sources this book is the most thorough treatment of the affair I've seen.
