Resumen: Dos ecos galileanos percibidos en Los sótanos del universo: (1) La epistemología del riesgo que preconiza Juan Arana se prefigura en el cálculo de errores que inaugura (al menos conceptualmente) Galileo, y que se opone al paradigma del rigor escolástico que sigue arraigado en la filosofía de Descartes y sus sucesores. (2) La metáfora del conocimiento como resultado del “problema inverso” que resuelven los geólogos, infiriendo la estructura de la Tierra de los ecos de los terremotos, sugiere un paralelismo con el “subsuelo matemático” en el que residen las teorías para Galileo, y nos hace especular sobre la naturaleza matemática de la realidad última.

Abstract: Two Galilean echoes perceived in Los Sótanos del Universo: (1) The epistemology of risk precognised by Juan Arana is prefigured in the calculus of errors that Galileo inaugurate (conceptually at least) and that is opposed to the paradigm of scholastic rigour which is found in Descartes and in his successors’ philosophy. (2) The metaphor of knowledge as result of the “inverse problem”, which geologists solve deducing the estructure of the Earth from the echoes produced by earthquakes, suggests a similarity with the “underground of mathematics” where the theories are according to Galileo and that make us questioning about the mathematical nature of the final reality.
Keywords: Epistemology, Galileo, Scholasticism, Descartes, Science, Calculus of Errors, Mathematics.
