italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Call for Papers
Galileo: Science, Faith and the Arts
An international Conference at St. Michael's College, University of Toronto
3-4 October 2013
The purpose of this conference is twofold: (i) to gather together
scholars interested in revisiting Galileo's thought on the
relationship between science and faith, and in exploring his
reflections on the arts, language and aesthetics, especially - but not
exclusively - in the context of that relationship, and (ii) to bring
his ideas into dialogue with their representation in the arts since
the seventeenth century, including literature, drama, painting, music
and film. Among the topics for discussion, those dealing with the
ideas and circumstances that led to Galileo's trial in Rome are
especially welcome. But virtually any aspect of Galileo's relationship
with the Church and the arts would be appropriate. We hope to attract
scholars equally concerned with Galileo's thought and its reception in
the history of theology, philosophy, science, and the arts.
