Description

This book explores the innovative methodologyexperimental philosophy of Galileo. The authors own methodology consists of identifying frameworks of dependencies that bond texts within broader traditions and in articulating the consequences of assumptions in rendering texts meaningful to historical actors. In addition to the text of this book, readers are invited to consult the corresponding website of the Experimental History and Philosophy of Science Research Unit at the University of Pittsburgh (www.exphps.org). This website contains a series of videos illustrating some recently performed reconstructions of Galileos experiments and a 68 page-long report of the teams reenactment of them.
