Titolo:Un Galileo positivista? A proposito della interpretazione machiana di Galileo / Paolo Bucci.
Abstract:The image of Galileo proposed by Ernst Mach in Mechanics has always been considered a paradigmatic example of the strictly positivistic interpretation of Galilean science, which views Galileo as being particularly attentive to the description of facts and not interested in theoretical elaboration. The purpose of this paper is to show how Mach's interpretation, especially if evaluated in the light of a work such as Knowledge and Error, is in reality quite cogent and complex. In fact, it reflects an epistemology that, while undoubtedly presenting many aspects of an empiricist and phenomenalistic nature, is at the same time characterized by: (i) an emphasis on the processes of idealisation and abstraction involved in scientific investigation and therefore on the role of thought experiments, and (ii) byreferences to a holistic conception of the relationship between theory and experience
