Abstract
The critiques of the last several chapters, undertaken after the analysis of various aspects of Galileo’s Dialogue of the earlier chapters, have been doubly instructive. In part, we have gained new or deeper insights into his work; but we have also derived useful theoretical and methodological lessons concerning scientific rationality, the history and the nature of philosophy, and the historiography of science. Let us continue our two-faceted critiques by exploiting the opportunities offered by classic Galileo scholarship from the point of view of the logic of erudition.
