    • The Trial of Galileo . HIST 104G

    Explores the creation of early modern scientific and religious knowledge by focusing on one of the most famous conflicts between the two: The Trial of Galileo. During this class students study the foundations of early scientific knowledge, read primary sources related to early modern understanding of the natural world, and seek to understand how conflicts between different regimes of knowledge have been navigated in the past. The influence of Galileo's trial on the perception of science and the Church in European history are considered at the end of the course.

    HIST104G . Bouley B A 4 Years Ago

    Covid forced Trial of Galileo to be online, but Bouley adapted to it as well as anyone could have wanted. Despite this class being specifically designed for interacting with classmates, doing it online was still extremely fun. If you get a chance to take it (or any one of his other classes), don't miss the opportunity. Absolutely fantastic Prof

    HIST4B . Bouley B A 3 Months Ago

    Professor Bouley lectures are entertaining, and very well detailed! He is always making sure that everyone in lecture understand and asking questions. I did not skip or miss any lectures which I can defintely say is the reason for my A in the class. If you're thinking about taking the class, do it!
