Galileo, Courtier: The Practice of Science in the Culture of Absolutism - Science and Its Conceptual Foundations series New edition
Mario Biagioli
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. In this fascinating cultural and social history of science, Biagioli argues that Galileo's courtly role was integral to his science - the questions he chose to examine, his methods, even his conclusions.
