Ofer Gal's project explores the routes of the new science and the baroque, the two primary cultural movements of seventeenth-century Europe. He will also address the tension between overt commitment to harmony and practical acknowledgment of discordant reality, a tension that is perhaps the most distinctively baroque characteristic of early modern science.
