How did early modern scientists interpret Galileo's influential Two New Sciences?In 1638, Galileo was over seventy years old, blind, and confined to house arrest outside of Florence. Treating diverse subjects that became the foundations of mechanical engineering and physics, this book is often depicted as the definitive expression of Galileo's purportedly modern scientific agenda.
