La nature est inexorable: pour une reconsidération de la contribution de Galilée au problème de la connaissance (2008)

unapi

Since Kant and Cassirer, Galileo's contribution to the philosophy of knowledge has often been considered by philosophers as fundamentally rationalist, aprioristic, and mathematically oriented. However, when one considers Galileo's explicit statements on the relationship between human understanding and nature, this view appears to require serious qualification. The paper explores the rich network of implications and connotations of the striking metaphor of Nature's inexorability. It shows that Galileo's philosophical mind was equally attuned to empiricist and skeptical themata, such as the contingency and bounds of human science, the unfathomable depths of nature, the inscrutability of essences ... This allows for a more balanced account of Galileo's Rationalism and his view of scientific progress
