Produktinformationen zu „Galileo Galilei, The Tuscan Artist (PDF)“

This book is a distinctively original biography of Galileo Galilei, probably the last eclectic genius of the Italian Renaissance, who was not only one of the greatest scientists ever, but also a philosopher, a theologian, and a man of great literary, musical, and artistic talent - "The Tuscan Artist", as the poet John Milton referred to him. Galileo was exceptional in simultaneously excelling in the Arts, Science, Philosophy, and Theology. These diverse aspects of his life were closely intertwined; indeed, it may be said that he personally demonstrated that human culture is not divisible, but rather one, with a thousand shades. Galileo also represented the bridge between two historical epochs. As the philosopher Tommaso Campanella, a contemporary of Galileo, recognized at the time, Galileo was responsible for ushering in a new age, the Modern Age. This book, which is exceptional in the completeness of its coverage, explores all aspects of the life of Galileo, as a Tuscan artist andgiant of the Renaissance, in a stimulating and reader-friendly way.

Pressezitat

“This new biography by Pietro Greco, an influential, well-known Italian science journalist and writer, emphasizes Galileo’s literary, musical, artistic, and poetic side, attributes that are usually bypassed. The result is a most enjoyable book, extremely thought-provoking and revealing, and offering a refreshingly new insight into Galileo’s character.” (David W. Hughes, The Observatory, Vol. 139 (1268), February, 2019)
“The book covers his whole life in comprehensive detail, starting from his birth in February 1564 (the same year as Shakespeare’s birth), and ending with his death in January 1642 just a few weeks short of his 78th birthday. … If you feel as I did, that there is a gap in your knowledge about the full life of Galileo, then this book is recommended to you.” (Odyssey The e-Magazine of the British Interplanetary Society, 2018)
