Robert S. WESTMAN. The Copernican Question
The Scientific Revolution Really Occurred
The importance of the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century has been queried in recent years and this paper attempts to show why the notion is still essential to a proper understanding of the twin advance in scientific conceptualization and factual discovery that began in the sixteenth century and led through such figures as Galileo to the new world view of Isaac Newton. The significance of the scholastic tradition, hermeticism and alc…

The history of science and the image of science
When historians look back on the practice of science at the beginning of the Third Millennium, they will be impressed by brilliant achievements in many fields. We have launched space exploration and made considerable headway in understanding how the brain works. We have cracked the genetic code and opened new means of communication. But historians will also be struck by something else: a cultural gap between scientists and people working in other…

Galileo's Claim to Fame
Until fairly recently a common way of doing history of science was to pick up an important strand of contemporary scientific thought and to trace its origin back to the philosophical tangle of the scientific revolution. This approach conveniently by-passed the breakdowns of once useful and pervasive theories, and neglected the long intellectual journeys along devious routes. History of science read like a success story; the pioneers who failed we…

Robert S. WESTMAN. The Copernican Question
Beyond Logical Empiricism
The mainstream of the philosophy of science in the second quarter of this century—the so-called “logical empiricist” or “logical positivist” movement—assumed that theoretical language in science is parasitic upon observation language and can be eliminated from scientific discourse by disinterpretation and formalization, or by explicit definition in or reduction to observational language. But several fashionable views now place the onus on believe…
Galileo, Science and the Church
The condemnation of Galileo was (and remains) for many people a good reason for leaving the Church with a good conscience.Honest seekers after truth have seen in the trial of Gali- leo decisive evidence that religion is dangerous, not only when it is wilfully perverted to secular ends, but also, and perhaps more especially, when it is pursued by sincere men who consider themselves the stewards of God's revealed truth.Every age has martyred Christ…
Reason, Experiment, and Mysticism in the Scientific Revolution
finds great significance in a figure of Mercury used in the first work (1558), supposes that it "closely resembled" a Pythagorean construct in the second (1564), and asserts that "it was again to be displayed on the first page" of the Praeface (p. 6).This is historiographical alchemy in itself.The Praeface title-page has at the foot of a wood-cut border a tiny figure of Mercury, but above it rise figures of Arithmetica, Geometrica, Musica and Ast…

fit into the morally structured interpretation, as happened during Giovanni's last unhappy years of economic reverses and political upheavals?Green points out that two solutions were available to him.In dealing with the material of history, either he could overempha- size the role of the supernatural, interpreting omens and signs in an apocalyptic way (the solution chosen by Villani), or he could blame human folly for the failure of events to wor…
Galileo Studies
Over a period of fifteen years, Stillman Drake has published a series of important biographi- cal essays that have shed considerable light on various aspects of Galileo's life and work.Th appearance in book form will be welcomed not only by the historian of science but by the general reader who wishes to assess the role Galileo played in the scientific revolution.Renaissance scholars may be particularly interested in one of Professor Drake's late…
