It’s hard to compare Galileo to the Scholastics. I will grant that it would be a mistake to brand the Scholastics as bogeyman, an evil to be overcome, but I don’t think you can equate Galileo to the Scholastics by citing his errors. Galileo was revolutionary because of his experimental method, and because of his application of mathematics to the results of his experiments. However faulty many of his ideas might have been, he is recognizably modern in his approach, and we can easily identify with him. Just the opposite is true of the Scholastics. Whatever sort of merit or virtuosity we might identify in their thinking, their entire perspective and approach is alien to our modern minds.
Terminat hora diem. Terminat auctor opus :-)
Much of the nineteenth century is alien to the modern mind.
Scholasticism is not a monolith. There were competing schools. But they were always reinterpreting Aristotle in some way. We can laugh about the experiments of Albertus Magnus, but that is the beginning of experimental science in the West. And it began in the Middle Ages before Galileo.
Galileo got his education as a boy in a monastery school and later at a university. These are institutions established in the Middle Ages. And without the mathematical training that Galileo received in these institutions, we would not be talking about him now.
So yes, let us honor the originality of Galileo, but let us never forget the great debt that he and we owe to the Middle Ages.
