Exstarrymessengersp6.Pdf Starry Messenger Hauptman Dramatic Publishing “An endearingly earnest look at the stargazer’s dilemma… “Religion versus science … makes for feisty drama.” an amusing reminder that most scientific truths once —The Village Voice seemed incomprehensible.”—The Village Voice Starry Messenger Starry Messenger Drama. By Ira Hauptman. Cast: 5m., 2w. In Starry Messenger we witness the effects of Galileo’s ordeals on his family and his family’s role in his decision to renounce his discoveries. Cardinals Borgia and Zacchia of the Inquisition warn Galileo not to try to prove that the earth revolves around the sun. Galileo’s illegitimate son, Vincenzio, presses him to obey the church so he can be legitimized. Galileo's brilliant daughter Virginia, a nun, also urges him to obey the church. Nonetheless, he is determined to publish his discoveries. His daugh- ter Livia, also a nun, seems to be possessed by demons. She has a vision of the destructive forces that science will unleash in the fu- ture, including the atom bomb. But Galileo remains committed to scientific truth. The Inquisition condemns him but will spare him if he recants. His protégé, Castelli, is certain he never will and encour- ages his death as a martyr. Virginia, dying, pleads with him to give her life meaning by recanting and returning to the church. He makes his fateful decision, sacrificing his science for his daughter. Galileo publicly recants but cries out that the earth does move. Area staging. Approximate running time: 90 minutes. Code: SP6.

Lawrence Martin Dean of the Graduate School ii Abstract of the Dissertation The Civic Virtue of Women in Quattrocento Florence by Christine Contrada Doctor of Philosophy in History Stony Brook University 2010 Fifteenth century Florence has long been viewed as the epicenter of Renaissance civilization and a cradle of civic humanism. This dissertation seeks to challenge the argument that the cardinal virtues, as described by humanists like Leonardo Bruni and Matteo Palmieri, were models of behavior that only men adhered to. Elite men and women alike embraced the same civic ideals of prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. Although they were not feminists advocating for social changes, women like Alessandra Strozzi, Margherita Datini, and Lucrezia Tornabuoni had a great deal of opportunity to actively support their own interests and the interests of their kin within popular cultural models of civic virtue.

  • Recieved Notice Today That It Did Not Go Through
    Scientists are People, Too: Biographies of Astronomical Scientists as a Literary Introduction to the Heliocentric Theory Autry McMorris Welch Middle School INTRODUCTION The Setting and Objectives One of the teaching tools that teachers often use is to take advantage of their students’ prior knowledge. This allows students to connect with the author or subject. Many students have had astronomical awareness or experiences as simple as Aristotle’s in 320 BC – that the Earth must be round because it casts a crescent shape on the moon. For me, it was an incidental thing that I sometimes noticed the moon out in the mornings and evenings when I walked my dogs. Almost as a type of entertainment, I started to anticipate where the moon would be positioned on my next walk. I found myself exhilarated as I could correctly anticipate its position. The key for me was that the moon was moving west, but because of the Earth’s rotation, it appeared to be moving east. At that moment, I shared an icon of truth with the great masters. Astronomy is very complex, to say the least. Some students, aware of their limitations, would not begin to broach the subject except from a non-threatening position. What if an introductory course were to be available that introduced the periphery of the subject? What if selected writings, biographies, autobiographies, theories and the like were a part of a curriculum to superimpose our literary devices of today on great works that were written hundreds of years ago? Copernicus described himself somewhat as candid and clear enough that both the unlearned as well as the learned might see that he was not seeking to flee from the judgment of any man, even if someone provided a guard against the bites of slanderers, the proverb holds that there is no medicine for the bite of a sycophant.

  • Sources: Galileo's Correspondence
    Sources: Galileo’s Correspondence Notes on the Translations The following collection of letters is the result of a selection made by the author from the correspondence of Galileo published by Antonio Favaro in his Le opere di Galileo Galilei,theEdizione Nazionale (EN), the second edition of which was published in 1968. These letters have been selected for their relevance to the inves- tigation of Galileo’s practical activities.1 The information they contain, moreover, often refers to subjects that are completely absent in Galileo’s publications. All of the letters selected are quoted in the work. The passages of the letters, which are quoted in the work, are set in italics here. Given the particular relevance of these letters, they have been translated into English for the first time by the author. This will provide the international reader with the opportunity to achieve a deeper comprehension of the work on the basis of the sources. The translation in itself, however, does not aim to produce a text that is easily read by a modern reader. The aim is to present an understandable English text that remains as close as possible to the original. The hope is that the evident disadvantage of having, for example, long and involute sentences using obsolete words is compensated by the fact that this sort of translation reduces to a minimum the integration of the interpretation of the translator into the English text. 1Another series of letters selected from Galileo’s correspondence and relevant to Galileo’s practical activities and, in particular, as a bell caster is published appended to Valleriani (2008).

  • Galileu Galilei: El Naixement De La Ciència Moderna
    Galileu Galilei: el naixement de la ciència moderna Victòria Rosselló Rosselló, V. (2016). Galileu Galilei: el naixement de la ciència moderna. In: Ginard, A.; Vicens, D. i Pons, G.X. (eds.). Idees que van canviar el món. Mon. Soc. Hist. Nat. Balears, 22; 53-65. SHNB - UIB. ISBN 978-84-608-9162-8. Disponible on-line a shnb.org/SHN_monografies Resum: El pensament de Galileu suposa el punt de partida de la Revolució Científica amb l’aparició d’una ciència on l’experimentació hi té un paper fonamental en contraposició a la ciència aristotèlica vigent al segle XVI. Amb el seu esforç intel·lectual, Galileu va fer trontollar l’edifici conceptual del seu temps amb el canvi d’actitud mental davant els problemes físics. La física galileana suposà una nova manera de mirar el món, que pretenia descobrir les lleis físiques que regulen els processos naturals. La nova manera d’analitzar els fenòmens de la naturalesa fou un procés que pot descriure’s com el pas de la recerca de causes a la recerca de lleis. La física aristotèlica s’ocupava del canvi (motio) i tenia com a objectiu comprendre els fenòmens de la naturalesa mitjançant l’examen de les causes. El coneixement pràctic (techne) havia estat exclòs per Aristòtil de la Filosofia Natural per considerar-lo inferior al coneixement científic (episteme). La Revolució Científica va consistir en bona mesura en la progressiva dissolució d’aquesta diferenciació i en la reconciliació del coneixement adquirit amb la pràctica amb l’obtingut mitjançant la raó. 54 Idees que van canviar el món Galileu Galilei va néixer el 15 de febrer de 1564 a Pisa i fou el primer de sis germans.
