Resumo: I'll try to identify the basis of the new Galilean dynamics in few critical and creative turning points. This way I pretend to undertake the challenge posit by H. F. Cohen remarking that "the problem is not to explain the way in which Galileo became aware of Greek legacy, but to explain the way he managed to transcend this legacy". The main points here considered are: the idea of natural places of Aristotle's physics, the concept of specific weight of Archimedes' static, Avempace's concept of virtus motiva and Nemorarius' notion of virtual velocity. In basis of this analysis I'll propose a general argument on the limited scope of sociological explanations in history of science.

En el presente trabajo pretendo identificar los puntos de unión críticos, en tanto pasos creativos, que sirvieron a la nueva sintesis en la que Galileo basó su nueva dinámica. En este sentido aspiro a cumplir con el desafío propuesto por Cohen al observar que "el problema no es explicar cómo llegó a utilizar el le-gado griego, a pesar de todo lo interesante que esto pueda tener en sí mismo, sino cómo fue posible trascenderlo". Pretendo mostrar cómo Galileo elabora una nueva síntensis dinámica a partir de cuatro tradiciones diferentes: los lugares naturales de la física aristotélica, el concepto de peso específico de la estática de Arquímedes, el concepto de virtus motiva de Ibn Bayya (Avempace) y el concepto de velocidad virtual de la tradición del corpus de ponderibus asociada a Jordano Nemorario. Con base en ese análisis elaboraré un argumento general sobre el alcance limitado de las explicaciones sociológicas en la historia de la ciencia. Universidade de São Paulo.
