PDF-(BOOS)-Galileo\'s Daughter: A Historical Memoir of Science, Faith, and Love

Inspired by a long fascination with Galileo and by the remarkable surviving letters of Galileos daughter a cloistered nun Dava Sobel has written a biography unlike any other of the man Albert Einstein called the father of modern physics indeed of modern science altogether Galileos Daughter also presents a stunning portrait of a person hitherto lost to history described by her father as a woman of exquisite mind singular goodness and most tenderly attached to me The son of a musician Galileo Galilei 15641642 tried at first to enter a monastery before engaging the skills that made him the foremost scientist of his day Though he never left Italy his inventions and discoveries were heralded around the world Most sensationally his telescopes allowed him to reveal a new reality in the heavens and to reinforce the astounding argument that the Earth moves around the Sun For this belief he was brought before the Holy Office of the Inquisition accused of heresy and forced to spend his last years under house arrest Of Galileos three illegitimate children the eldest best mirrored his own brilliance industry and sensibility and by virtue of these qualities became his confidante Born Virginia in 1600 she was thirteen when Galileo placed her in a convent near him in Florence where she took the most appropriate name of Suor Maria Celeste Her loving support which Galileo repaid in kind proved to be her fathers greatest source of strength throughout his most productive and tumultuous years Her presence through letters which Sobel has translated from their original Italian and masterfully woven into the narrative graces her fathers life now as it did thenGalileos Daughter dramatically recolors the personality and accomplishment of a mythic figure whose seventeenthcentury clash with Catholic doctrine continues to define the schism between science and religion Moving between Galileos grand public life and Maria Celestes sequestered world Sobel illuminates the Florence of the Medicis and the papal court in Rome during the pivotal era when humanitys perception of its place in the cosmos was about to be overturned In that same time while the bubonic plague wreaked its terrible devastation and the Thirty Years War tipped fortunes across Europe one man sought to reconcile the Heaven he revered as a good Catholic with the heavens he revealed through his telescope With all the human drama and scientific adventure that distinguished Dava Sobels previous book Longitude Galileos Daughter is an unforgettable story.

A devastating attack upon the dominance of atheism in science today.Giovanni Fazio, Senior Physicist, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for AstrophysicsThe debate over the ultimate source of truth in our world often pits science against faith.In fact, some high-profile scientists today would have us abandon God entirely as a source of truth about the universe.In this book, two professional astronomers push back against this notion, arguing that the science of today is not in a position to pronounce on the existence of God--rather, our notion of truth must include both the physical and spiritual domains.Incorporating excerpts from a letter written in 1615 by famed astronomer Galileo Galilei, the authors explore the relationship between science and faith, critiquing atheistic and secular understandings of science while reminding believers that science is an important source of truth about the physical world that God created. In 1633 the Roman Inquisition concluded the trial of Galileo Galilei with a condemnation for heresy. The trial was itself the climax of a series of events which began two decades earlier (in 1613) and included another series of Inquisition proceedings in 1615-1616. Besides marking the end of the controversy that defines the original episode, the condemnation of 1633 also marks the beginning of another classic controversy-about the Galileo affair, its causes, its implications, and its lessons about whether, for example, John Milton was right when in the Areopagitica he commented on his visit to Galileo in Florence by saying: There it was that I found and visited the famous Galileo, grown old a prisoner to the Inquisition, for thinking in astronomy otherwise than the Franciscan and Dominican licensers thought. I happen to be extremely interested in this second story and second controversy, and a critical interpretation of the affair remains one of my ultimate goals. But that is not the subject of the present work, which is rather concerned with something more fundamental, namely with the documentation of the original episode. To be more exact, the aim of this book is to provide a documentary history of the series of developments which began in 1613 and culminated in 1633 with the trial and condemnation of Galileo. That is, it aims to provide a collection of the essential texts and documents containing information about both the key events and the key issues. The documents have been translated into English from the original languages, primarily Italian and partly Latin they have been selected, are arranged, annotated, introduced, and otherwise edited with the following guiding principles in mind: to make the book as self-contained as possible and to minimize contentious interpretation and evaluation. The Galileo affair is such a controversial and important topic that one needs a sourcebook from which to learn firsthand about the events and the issues since no adequate volume of the kind exists, this work attempts to fill the lacuna. The originals of the documents translated and collected here can all be found in printed sources. In fact, with one exception they are all contained in the twenty volumes of the National Edition of Galileo\'s works, edited by Antonio Favaro and first published in 1890-1909. The exception is the recently discovered Anonymous Complaint About The Assayer, whose original was discovered and first published in 1983 by Pietro Redondi this document is also contained in the critical edition of the Inquisition proceedings edited by Sergio M. Pagano and published in 1984 by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. My selection was affected partly by the criterion of importance insofar as I chose documents that I felt to be (more or less) essential. Since I was also influenced by the double focus of this documentary history on events and issues, I therefore included two types of documents: the first consists of relatively short documents which are mostly either Inquisition proceedings (Chapters V and IX) or letters (Chapters I, VII, and VIII) and which primarily (though not exclusively) record various occurrences the second type consists of longer essays by Galileo (Chapters II, Ill, IV, and VI) which discuss many of the central scientific and philosophical issues and have intrinsic importance independent of the affair. Finally, my goal of maximizing the autonomy of this volume suggested another reason for including some of these longer informative essays on the scientific issues (Chapters IV and VI).
