Abstract

galileo galilee's advancements in astronomy forever changed the way the Western world viewed itself. His support of the heliocentric theory in Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief Systems- Ptolemaic and Copernican published in 1632 included new advancements in Nikolai Copernicus' theory. Though these ideas had great scientific implications, the philosophical effects were just as important and far more widespread. The Holy Catholic Church staunchly supported the geocentric version and had previously condemned Copernicus' De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium ("On the Revolutions of the Celestial Orbs").
