Este ensayo contextualiza y propone algunas anotaciones de un interesante y curioso opúsculo titulado Galileo Galilei, filósofo y matemático escrito por Juan Vásquez de Acuña y publicado en Lima el año 1650. Este escrito representa un testimonio científico interesante sobre las relaciones intelectuales entre los europeos y los americanos en una época álgida de interconexiones muy estrechas entre ambos continentes y en medio de la revolución científica. Asimismo, el texto es un testimonio curioso de una comunidad de peruanos atentos a los cambios científicos y capaces de comentar, criticar y proponer otras perspectivas científicas.

This review essay introduces the work of the Egyptian scientific historian and philosopher Roshdi Rashed, a pioneer in the field of the history of Arab sciences. The article is based on the five volumes he originally wrote in French and later translated into Arabic, which were published by the Centre for Arab Unity Studies and which are now widely acclaimed as a unique effort to unveil the achievements of Arab scientists. The essay reviews this major work, which seems, like Plato’s Republic to have “No Entry for Those Who Have No Knowledge of Mathematics” written on its gate. If you force your way in, even with elementary knowledge of computation, a philosophy will unfold before your eyes, described by the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei as “written in that great book which ever lies before our eyes—I mean the universe—but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the symbols, in which it is written. This book is written in the mathematical language, and the symbols are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without whose help it is impossible to comprehend a single word of it; without which one wanders in vain through a dark labyrinth.” The essay is a journey through this labyrinth where the history of world mathematics got lost and was chronicled by Rashed in five volumes translated from the French into Arabic. It took him fifteen years to complete.

[first paragraph of article]Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), professor of mathematics at the University of Padua from 1592 to 1610, was a pillar in the history of our University and a symbol of freedom for research and teaching, well stated in the university motto ‘‘Universa Universis Patavina Libertas’’ (Total freedom in Padua, open to all the world). He invented the experimental method, based on evidence and calculation (‘‘science is measure’’) and was able, by using the telescope, to confirm the Copernican heliocentric theory, a challenge to the Bible. Bertrand Russell (1872–1970), in his book ‘‘The Problems of Philosophy’’ stated: ‘‘Almost everything that distinguishes modern world from earlier centuries is attributable to science, which achieved the most spectacular triumphs in the seventeenth century. Together with Harvey, Newton and Keplero, Galileo was a protagonist of this scientific revolution in the late Renaissance’’.

l presente estudio constituye un ejercicio de recopilación de los principales aspectos que atañen al método científico y al papel del investigador y su responsabilidad en la obra Leben des Galilei de Bertolt Brecht. El núcleo del análisis se centra principalmente en la figura del protagonista, el científico italiano Galileo Galilei. En la actualidad, al igual que en el pasado, los científicos juegan un papel fundamental en la sociedad. Por este motivo, se antoja necesario conocer las responsabilidades que recaen sobre este colectivo, de manera que la humanidad sea consciente de la imperiosa necesidad de austeridad en este campo. El pasado siglo XX, marcado por encarnizadas guerras, supuso un enorme desarrollo para la tecnología. Pero, ¿con qué finalidad se desarrolló esta tecnología? Lo cierto es que el interés por su desarrollo estuvo marcado por numerosos motivos bélicos. Muchos fueron los científicos que pusieron sus conocimientos al servicio del poder sin llegar a pensar que estos se utilizarían para tales fines. El propio Albert Einstein, defensor del desarrollo de la bomba atómica, se arrepintió de ello tras cerciorarse del uso que se había hecho de ella en territorio nipón.
