Summary
Galileo Galilei: Dialogue on the Two Main World Systems
The key text for the development of our scientific and philosophical thought, Dialogue on the Two Main World Systems, was published in 1632. The theses contained in the book forced the church authorities to try Galileo for heresy and to put the work on the List of Prohibited Books. Nevertheless, Galileo's theory continued to spread and lay the foundation for a scientific revolution that changed the history of Western culture. The strength of this debate lies primarily in its ability to overturn the ancient beliefs that underpinned the Ptolemaic and Aristotelian systems in order to build new theories proving the accuracy of Copernicus' claims. Thanks to its prose, this text represents the first example of modern scientific advertising, which abandons the Latin language of scholars in favor of the Italian language and an expositional technique close to storytelling. The dialogue between three persons, Simpliki, Salviati and Sagredo, shows the value of a new science based on empirical research and direct observation.
