How does Galileo’s “way of knowing” challenge the construction
of traditional
"received, divine” knowledge?
Galileo’s “way of knowing” challenge
the construction of traditional by created a new way of world should be.
He tried to prove what he discovered was a right fact to prove his adventure
was right. He thought that earth stayed still but the sun and the moon
orbited around the earth and other planets. He worked hard on it, even
though some of his friends and others stopped him. During that time,
no one allow studying or try to do something with the universe. If
people still doing, they will get punish by the law. The People and
bible were written and belief what the world should be, so people should follow
what the church had said. But Galileo did not follow through what god
(church) created to people, he still tried his best to prove his adventure.
He did not against what it was written, but he wanted to discover the new
things. He wanted to go through what he had belief in himself and the
universal.
From my personal opinion, I would go
through what Galileo did because it was what I had belief in. Even though,
god had rules us not to discover something that was not allowed to. As I
am a human being, I will not trust just from the book or whatever other said.
I will try to find out the fact of myself, and then I would be happy even
if I know the result for me is not the way that I wanted to be. Galileo
was right to do what the believes n, he never scare of any punishment.
That is a man that I would go through, but in other hand of this case, this
was something that was too serious and it could affect to others’ lives and
way of beliefs in god. So whatever we do, we should not against what
god had said. Because god is the nature and nature is the thing that
could create us and direct us where are we right now? People would
have different thought from mine. We should not against the nature.
