Description

Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems by Galileo Galilei

When Galileo completed the first great work of modern science in 1632 he paved the way for freedom of scientific thought and paid the price with the loss of his own liberty. Supporting Copernicus’s heliocentric view of the universe against Ptolemaic geocentrism, the Dialogue was condemned by the Catholic Church, making Galileo a prisoner of the Inquisition for the rest of his life. Nevertheless it began a revolution, undermining the classical, reason-based tradition endorsed by the Church – because it supported the notion that humankind, and therefore God, lay at the centre of the universe – and leading science back to an objective, empirical attitude towards the cosmos.
