«Galileo» is the biography of Galileo Galilei written by Stillman Drake, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (152 pages, in Spanish).
Stillman Drake argues that Galileo's condemnation by the Inquisition was due to the hostility of the philosophers of his time, not to a challenge to the Church. Galileo's scientific method, based on laws rather than causes, opposed Aristotelian physics and influenced modern physics and the separation between science and philosophy.
It belongs to the El Libro de Bolsillo collection of Alianza Editorial (no. 941, Humanities section), with a translation by Alberto Elena.
A book intended for readers interested in the history of science, astronomy and the figure of Galileo, and in the debate between science and philosophy.
