FINOCCHIARO, M. A., On Trial For Reason. Science, Religion, and Culture in the Galileo Affair. Oxford University Press, 2019. 300p. Hardback. Students of early modern science are indebted to Maurice Finocchiaro for his lifetime of scholarly effort relating to the work of Galileo ... this latest work is also welcome, providing a readable summary of the main issues at stake in the Galileo affair and of Finocchiaro's defence of Galileo's reasoning. I say 'defence' because ... While his latest book exemplifies the even-handedness he praises in the work of his seventeenth-century hero, it nevertheless constitutes a vigorous defence of both Galileo's approach to the scientific enterprise and his attempts to separate science and religion.
