This essay surveys Giovanni Virginio Schiaparelli’s studies in the history of science and, more specifically, astronomy from ancient Babylon to Kepler. It also shows the important role of this Italian scholar in establishing the centrality of astronomy within the discipline of physics. To this purpose, Schiaparelli relied on an impressive wealth of sources, all of which he treated with the utmost scientific rigour. This eventually inspired the title of Pierre Duhem’s famous book swzein ta fainomena (1908).

Abstract
This essay surveys Giovanni Virginio Schiaparelli’s studies in the history of science and, more specifically, astronomy from ancient Babylon to Kepler. It also shows the important role of this Italian scholar in establishing the centrality of astronomy within the discipline of physics. To this purpose, Schiaparelli relied on an impressive wealth of sources, all of which he treated with the utmost scientific rigour. This eventually inspired the title of Pierre Duhem’s famous book swzein ta fainomena (1908).File in questo prodotto:
