Galileo Gallilei and his trials with the Catholic Church became the centerpiece of this intellectual battle. The communications between scientists, church officials, and aristocracy were riddled with scandal, corruption, and secrets.Historians now refer to this episode as the Galileo Affair. During these four lectures, Nathan Kapoor will explore the events, both real and imagined, of the affair and reflect on their historical significance and resonance.Nathan Kapoor, Assistant Professor of History, Illinois State University
