Overview
Key facts
Galileo Galilei (1564 to 1642) is one of the most controversial figures to emerge from Italy in the early modern period. He’s arguably best known for his clash with the Church over the Copernican hypothesis (that the earth orbited the sun) which resulted in Galileo being put on trial in Rome in 1633.
University College London (UCL) offers the Introduction to Renaissance Italy - The Galileo Affair programme.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- The origins of the shift from the geocentric universe, with earth at its centre, to the heliocentric one, in which the earth became the third planet orbiting the sun
- The intellectual impact of this cosmographical change, for example, how did the Catholic Church react to a perceived challenge to the authority of scripture?
- Did the format in which ideas were presented, such as a dialogue, affect their reception?
- What effect did the ‘Galileo Affair’ have on the relationship between science and religion?
