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.
