This book is a distinctively original biography of Galileo Galilei,
probably the last eclectic genius of the Italian Renaissance, who
was not only one of the greatest scientists ever, but also a
philosopher, a theologian, and a man of great literary, musical,
and artistic talent - "The Tuscan Artist", as the poet John Milton
referred to him. Galileo was exceptional in simultaneously
excelling in the Arts, Science, Philosophy, and Theology. These
diverse aspects of his life were closely intertwined; indeed, it
may be said that he personally demonstrated that human culture is
not divisible, but rather one, with a thousand shades. Galileo also
represented the bridge between two historical epochs. As the
philosopher Tommaso Campanella, a contemporary of Galileo,
recognized at the time, Galileo was responsible for ushering in a
new age, the Modern Age. This book, which is exceptional in the
completeness of its coverage, explores all aspects of the life of
Galileo, as a Tuscan artist and giant of the Renaissance, in a
stimulating and reader-friendly way.
