Informed by currents in sociology, cultural anthropology, and
literary theory, "Galileo, Courtier" is neither a biography nor a
conventional history of science. In the court of the Medicis and
the Vatican, Galileo fashioned both his career and his science to
the demands of patronage and its complex systems of wealth, power,
and prestige. Biagioli argues that Galileo's courtly role was
integral to his science--the questions he chose to examine, his
methods, even his conclusions.
"Galileo, Courtier" is a fascinating cultural and social history of
science highlighting the workings of power, patronage, and
credibility in the development of science.
