“Galilean Science” is a category for books centered on Galileo Galilei and the scientific revolution he helped ignite. It encompasses Galileo’s primary texts and modern translations; biographies and narrative histories; studies of his method—systematic observation, experiment, and the mathematization of nature—and analyses of his instruments and discoveries in astronomy and mechanics, from the telescope to the moons of Jupiter and the laws of motion. The category also includes works on the early modern intellectual context, the conflict with Aristotelian philosophy and the Church (including the trial), and the broader transformation of scientific practice. It features philosophy-of-science reflections on evidence, explanation, and relativity, as well as contemporary explorations of Galileo’s legacy in physics and astronomy, accessible reconstructions of his experiments for education, and scholarly debates about the meaning, interpretation, and impact of a “Galilean” approach to science.
