Episode 8. Series based on Valery Fadeev’s book “Transforming Humanism“. Savonarola and Galileo
Series of the Institute of Heritage and Modern Society of the Russian State University for the Humanities based on Valery Fadeev’s book “Transforming Humanism“. Episode 8
This is the story of the Dominican friar Savonarola, the head of the Inquisition Cardinal Bellarmino, and the great scientist Galileo Galilei.
Savonarola was actually the ruler of Florence for several years in the late 15th century. This monk passionately denounced human vices, the departure of people from living according to Christian precepts. He believed that the Vatican was indulging too much in the arts and forgetting the Lord, whom it should glorify in its churches.
But the Catholic Church was able to take the arts into its parish. We all know the grandiose splendor of the Vatican palaces, but now this splendor was no longer for the glory of God, but for the glory of the Roman throne.
The most vivid example of the struggle of the “obscurantist” Catholic Church with science was the persecution of the great scientist Galileo Galilei. “And yet it spins,” - this phrase is known to all, it has become a symbol of scientific freethinking.
Synthesis of science and church in the 17th century did not work out. Now this task of such a synthesis, profane and sacred, is becoming urgent.
Valery Fadeev, Scientific Director of the Institute of Heritage and Modern Society at the Russian State University for the Humanities.
