Defending Copernicus and Galileo

Critical Reasoning in the Two Affairs

Maurice A. Finocchiaro

978-90-481-3201-0

2009
Edition 1
- Examines both Galileo’s original trial (1613-1633) and the subsequent controversy over its propriety (1633-1992)
- Stresses the point of view of critical reasoning and argumentation, thus providing a case study of their role in the Copernican Revolution and the Galileo affair
- Elaborates Galileo’s own approach in the original affair, using it as a model to understand and assess the subsequent affair
- Articulates a particular yet overarching thesis: that today the defense of Galileo should have the reasoned, critical, and fair-minded character which his own defense of Copernicus had
- Concerned with avoiding not only crude popular oversimplifications, but also inflated scholarly complexities
