Professor Manfred Weidhorn’s THE PERSON OF THE MILLENNIUM: THE UNIQUE IMPACT OF
GALILEO ON WORLD HISTORY [iUniverse

Reviews:
Interesting…Argues
well….Insightful and well written…Recommended
-- Choice (March 2006): 1246
This is a very
sweeping thesis involving grand theorizing in the style of the old philosophy of
history. However, Weidhorn’s argument is nuanced and sophisticated….Whether or
not one values this type of grand theorizing and whether or not one completely
accepts the thesis, Weidhorn has constructed a supporting argument that is
eloquent, intelligent, cogent, and sometimes original, and has written a
well-argued, thoughtful, and thought-provoking
book.
