Intersezioni. Percorsi attraverso i saperi. Scienza ed etica

2012

"Intersezioni. Percorsi attraverso i saperi" sono dei percorsi interdisciplinari inseriti nel "Nuovo manuale di letteratura" di Luperini, Cataldi, Marchiani, Marchese, che vengono introdotti per potenziare il lavoro di preparazione in vista dell'esame di Stato della Scuola Secondaria di 2° grado.

In particolare, questo percorso è dedicato al rapporto fra scienza, filosofia e morale nel periodo compreso fra la Rivoluzione copernicana (e la nascita della scienza moderna nel …

Galilée, un signe à tout faire

2014

Que l’on souhaite faire oeuvre de science, prévaloir une opinion, susciter une émotion, valoriser un produit, la vie et l’oeuvre du mathématicien, physicien et astronome italien Galileo Galilei s’acommodent de bien des manières. Comment cette trivialité manifeste participe-t-elle du « mythe » ?

De la transmission à l'altération : Galilée comme carrefour.

2013

International audience; La transmission culturelle est régulièrement considérée comme un phénomène explicitement "continuiste". Or c'est aussi par l’absence, la substitution, le détournement, l’erreur et l’accident que peuvent survivre et prospérer formes et idées.En effet, les "discontinuités", toujours relatives aux milieux, aux acteurs, aux formes et genres... créent des opportunités de communication, de signification, de transmission.Cette position est défendue à partir d'un cadre de réflexion émergeant – la trivialité des êtres culturels – qui permet d'examiner le rôle fondamental des communications quotidiennes dans la préservation de patrimoines matériels et idéels, participant de l’…

In the Service of the Reich: Aspects of Copernicus and Galileo in Nazi Germany’s Historiographical and Political Discourse

2001

ArgumentFocus of this paper is on the historiographical fate of Nicholas Copernicus and Galileo Galilei in Nazi Germany. Both played interesting roles in Nazi propaganda and the legitimization of Nazi political goals. In the “Third Reich,” efforts to claim Copernicus as a German astronomer were closely linked to revisionist policies in Eastern Europe culminating in the war-time expansion. The example of Galileo’s condemnation by the Catholic Church in 1633 became a symbol of its unjustified opposition to new “scientific” results, namely Nazi racial theory. After Catholic opposition against Nazi racial theory had reached a peak in 1937, the Galileo affair was turned into an instrument of Naz…

Vision-related function in the COPERNICUS and GALILEO trials

2014

Purpose To examine the impact of intravitreal aflibercept (IVT-AFL) injection on the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ) in the COPERNICUS and GALILEO trials. Methods Patients (pts) with macular oedema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion received IVT-AFL 2 mg (IVT-AFL 2q4) or sham monthly for 24 weeks. After Week 24 (W24) in COPERNICUS all pts were eligible to receive IVT-AFL based on visual and anatomical outcomes (IVT-AFL 2q4+PRN, sham+IVT-AFL PRN). In GALILEO, sham-treated pts received sham tx until W52. The NEI VFQ was administered at baseline (BL), W24 and W52. Total and subscale scores were compared between groups. W24 data were integrated an…

The Uses of Analogies in Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century Science

2011

The object of this paper is to look at the extent and nature of the uses of analogy during the first century following the so-called scientific revolution.Using the research tool provided by JSTOR we systematically analyze the uses of “analog” and its cognates (analogies, analogous, etc.) in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London for the period 1665–1780. In addition to giving the possibility of evaluating quantitatively the proportion of papers explicitly using analogies, this approach makes it possible to go beyond the maybe idiosyncratic cases of Descartes, Kepler, Galileo, and other much studied giants of the so-called Scientific Revolution. As a result a classifi…
