Question

deductive approach that was inherent in galileos discoveries. he believed in isolating variables and is famous for his insistence that the qua of objects be separated from their quantitative properties. that dichotomy between the unmeasurable and measurable, that of mind (spiritu (mechanical), is a hallmark of western thought, and for better or worse, largely exists to this day. in sum, descartess philosophy (\cogito, er therefore i am.) helped to define the goals and methods of science by requiring the elimination of extraneous facts and beliefs. source: abc galileos trial, run by the roman inquisition, showed that the views of the church were not compatible with the new belief in free expression of political ideas. the original scientific worldview as built by aristotle. the forces of the rising protestant world. the new experimental science of the 17th century.

Explanation:

• Galileo’s work (e.g., heliocentric model, empirical methods) represented the new experimental science of the 17th century, which emphasized observation, deduction, and challenging traditional (Aristotelian/Church-supported) geocentric views.
• The Church’s views (geocentric, reliant on tradition/scripture) clashed with this new scientific approach.
• Other options are irrelevant: (A) focuses on political expression (not science), (B) Aristotle’s worldview was compatible with the Church’s geocentric stance, and (C) relates to Protestant-Catholic tensions (not the core scientific conflict).

Answer:

D. The new experimental science of the 17th century.
