Topic: The Galileo Affair and its Impact on the Interaction Between Science and Religion
in 17th Century Italy
Question: What broader social effects did this interplay have on areas like education,
politics, economics, and philosophy? How did the Italian 17th-century Galileo Affair
influence the mutually reinforcing link between science and religion?
Context: There were major advances in science and religion during the 17th century.
The dispute between Galileo Galilei and the Catholic Church regarding his endorsement
of heliocentrism provides a central theme for examining the complex relationships
between science and religion in this historical period.

Instructions
1. Refine your defense of the historical argument presented in your draft paper (and, if necessary, the historical argument itself). As with the draft paper, your historical argument should be original and independent (i.e. it may be informed by but cannot restate or rely overtly on the analysis of another author) and should be expressed through a concise, compelling thesis statement following the introduction of the paper. Finally, it must characterize and contextualize a particular interaction between science and religion with clear reference to other relevant social factors.
2. Defend your historical argument with the use of clear and appropriate evidence and original analysis. Your evidence should come from both primary and secondary sources. The best analysis will have ample, relevant evidentiary support, synthesize rather than repeat the information from multiple sources, and demonstrate the ability to think critically about the sources of information it uses. Any quotations or ideas that are not your own must be cited in the text of your paper using parenthetical citations or footnotes (please use either APA or Chicago format).
3. Structure your paper according to a logical plan. This includes breaking down distinct ideas into separate paragraphs that each support and clearly relate back to the overarching argument in your paper. These paragraphs should also be ordered in a way that makes sense for your particular historical argument. The paper should also include a conclusion near the end that supports the original argument (thesis) and follows logically from the body of evidence and analysis that lies between the thesis and conclusion.
4. The final paper must be 1,500 words in length (Times New Roman, 12 pt., double spaced). You must also include a complete bibliography (use either APA or Chicago format) at the end of the paper. The bibliography must include at least 6 resources; one of these must be a primary source. The bibliography does not count toward the 1,500 word target length.
