The conventional opposition of scholastic Aristotelianism and humanistic science has been increasingly questioned in recent years, and in these articles William Wallace aims to demonstrate that a progressive Aristotelianism in fact provided the foundation for Galileo's scientific discoveries.
The conventional opposition of scholastic Aristotelianism and humanistic science has been increasingly questioned in recent years, and in these articles William Wallace aims to demonstrate that a progressive Aristotelianism in fact provided the foundation for Galileo''s scientific discoveries. The first series of articles supply much of the documentary evidence that has led the author to the sources for Galileo''s early notebooks: they show how Galileo, while teaching or preparing to teach at Pisa, actually appropriated much of his material from Jesuit lectures given at the Collegio Romano in 1598-90. The next articles then trace a number of key elements in Galileo''s later work, mainly relating to logical methodology and natural philosophy, back to sources in medieval Aristotelian thought, notably in the writings of Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas. La mise en opposition conventionnelle entre laristotélisme scolastique et la science humaniste a été de plus en plus remise en question durant les dernières années. Tout au long de ces articles, William Wallace tente de démontrer que laristotélisme progressif a en fait pourvu le fondement des découvertes scientifiques de Galilée. Le premier groupe darticles fournit la plupart des preuves documentées qui ont mené lauteur aux sources des premiers cahiers de notes de Galilée; on y voit comment celui-ci, alors quil enseignait, ou sapprêtait à enseigner à Pise, sétait en fait approprié quantité de donneés issues de cours magistraux jésuites qui avaient été donnés au Collegio Romano entre 1588 et 90. Les études suivantes retracent à leur tour un certain nombre delements-clef des travaux ultérieurs de Galilée, se rapportant plus particulièrement à la méthodologie logique et a la philosophie naturelle, jusquà leurs sources dans la pensée aristotélicienne du Moyen Age, notamment dans les écrits dAlbert le Grand et de Thomas dAquin.
