商品描述
This book offers the English translation of 'Momento. Studi Galileiani', the most comprehensive and rigorously documented account of the process through which Galileo, having revealed the limitations of traditional theories of motion and weight, developed a new science of mechanics and dynamics. It traces how, in the midst of the Scientific Revolution, the tension between inherited doctrines and innovative inquiry led to a radical transformation in the conception of nature and its laws. By examining the evolution of scientific terminology and its conceptual implications, the book shows how Galileo's mathematical approach reshaped the understanding of motion and natural processes, while confronting the intellectual resistance of his time. Combining detailed historical reconstruction with methodological insight, this study provides a crucial resource for scholars of early modern science, the history of physics and mathematics, epistemology, and the development of scientific language.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書提供《Momento. Studi Galileiani》的英文翻譯，這是對伽利略（Galileo）揭示傳統運動和重量理論的局限性後，發展出新的力學和動力學科學過程的最全面且嚴謹的記錄。它追溯了在科學革命的背景下，繼承的教義與創新的探究之間的緊張關係如何導致對自然及其法則的根本性轉變。通過檢視科學術語的演變及其概念意涵，本書展示了伽利略的數學方法如何重塑對運動和自然過程的理解，同時面對他所處時代的智識抵抗。結合詳細的歷史重建與方法論的洞察，這項研究為早期現代科學、物理學和數學的歷史、認識論以及科學語言的發展提供了重要的資源。
作者簡介
Paolo Galluzzi is an Italian historian of science specializing in the Renaissance and early modern periods, with particular emphasis on Galileo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the development of scientific culture and institutions. A graduate of the University of Florence, where he studied under Eugenio Garin, he served for a decade as Director of Research at the Lessico Intellettuale Europeo in Rome, overseeing major editorial projects including the
Lessico delle opere di Galileo. Appointed Full Professor of the History of Science in 1979, he taught at the University of Siena and later at the University of Florence until 2012. From 1982 to 2021, he was Director of the Museo Galileo in Florence, significantly shaping it into a leading international center for the study and promotion of scientific heritage; he now serves as its Honorary President. Galluzzi has held visiting appointments at institutions including Harvard, Stanford, and Caltech, and has lectured widely at major universities and research centers worldwide. A prolific scholar with over 300 publications, he has also founded and directed influential journals and major editorial series in the history of science. His contributions have been recognized with numerous honors, including the Italian Republic's Gold Medal for cultural merit and the Lewis Mumford Award. He was the President of da Vinci' s centennial celebrations 2019-2020. He is fellow of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei and The Royal Academy of sciences, Stockholm.
Andrew Rodionov is a technical writer and patent agent with a B.S. in physics from Texas A&M University. His interests focus on the history of early modern science, particularly the development of mechanics in the seventeenth century and the language used by Galileo and his contemporaries to articulate emerging mechanical concepts. Drawing on his scientific training and professional experience analyzing technical language, he studies how key terms and arguments in early modern mechanics were formulated and transmitted. He prepared the present English translation of Paolo Galluzzi's Momento in order to make this important study of Galilean mechanics accessible to a wider English-speaking audience.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
保羅·加盧齊（Paolo Galluzzi）是一位專注於文藝復興及早期現代時期的意大利科學史學家，特別強調伽利略、達文西以及科學文化和機構的發展。他畢業於佛羅倫斯大學，師從尤金尼奧·加林（Eugenio Garin），並在羅馬的歐洲智識辭典（Lessico Intellettuale Europeo）擔任研究主任十年，負責包括伽利略著作辭典在內的重大編輯項目。1979年被任命為科學史的正教授，曾在錫耶納大學和佛羅倫斯大學任教，直到2012年。從1982年到2021年，他擔任佛羅倫斯伽利略博物館的館長，顯著將其塑造成為國際領先的科學遺產研究和推廣中心；目前擔任名譽館長。加盧齊曾在哈佛大學、史丹佛大學和加州理工學院等機構擔任訪問職位，並在全球主要大學和研究中心廣泛講授。他是一位多產的學者，擁有超過300篇出版物，並創辦和主導了影響深遠的科學史期刊和主要編輯系列。他的貢獻獲得了多項榮譽，包括意大利共和國文化功勳金獎和路易斯·曼福德獎。他是2019-2020年達文西百年慶祝活動的主席。他是意大利國家科學院（Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei）和瑞典皇家科學院的院士。
安德魯·羅迪奧諾夫（Andrew Rodionov）是一位技術作家和專利代理人，擁有德克薩斯農工大學的物理學學士學位。他的興趣集中在早期現代科學的歷史，特別是十七世紀力學的發展以及伽利略和他的 contemporaries 用來表達新興力學概念的語言。基於他的科學訓練和分析技術語言的專業經驗，他研究了早期現代力學中關鍵術語和論點是如何形成和傳遞的。他準備了保羅·加盧齊的《Momento》的英文翻譯，以使這部重要的伽利略力學研究能夠更廣泛地接觸到英語讀者。
