Book Synopsis Christoph Rothmann's Discourse on the Comet of 1585 by : Miguel A. Granada
Download or read book Christoph Rothmann's Discourse on the Comet of 1585 written by Miguel A. Granada and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christoph Rothmann wrote a treatise on the comet of 1585 shortly after it disappeared. Though it was not printed until 1619, Rothman sent a copy of his treatise in 1586 to Tycho Brahe, decisively influencing the latter's rejection of solid celestial spheres two years later. In his treatise, Rothmann joined the elimination of the solid celestial spheres to his concept of air as the substance filling the cosmos. He based his argument on the absence of refraction and the celestial location of the comet. The treatise also contained clear statements reflecting Rothmann’s adoption of Copernicanism. This first critical edition of the treatise is accompanied by an English translation and a thorough commentary. Some appendices with archival documents illustrate the genesis of Rothmann’s treatise.

Book Synopsis Nouveau ciel, nouvelle terre by : Miguel Angel Granada
Download or read book Nouveau ciel, nouvelle terre written by Miguel Angel Granada and published by Belles Lettres. This book was released on 2009 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nouveau ciel, Nouvelle terre fait reference au verset apocalyptique figurant sur les panneaux de l'horloge astronomique de Strasbourg, non loin du portrait de Copernic. Les articles ici reunis examinent le developpement historique de la question copernicienne: l'espace de sa reception, de sa diffusion, et les differentes formes de resistances a la theorie heliocentrique, qui n'ont d'ailleurs pas toujours abouti a en interdire la diffusion. D'abord, ce volume etudie l'articulation entre l'elaboration de la problematique copernicienne et les preoccupations eschatologiques constantes chez les theologiens les plus ecoutes comme Philippe Melanchthon (1497-1560) ou Andreas Osiander (1498-1552), mais aussi bien presentes chez des coperniciens de la premiere heure comme Georg Joachim Rheticus (1514-1574). En second lieu, il s'agit de montrer que la revolution astronomique remet progressivement en question la distinction traditionnelle entre un monde sublunaire, materiel, corruptible, et un ciel inalterable, sans histoire ni secret. Avant de s'identifier en une seule substance, ce nouveau ciel et cette nouvelle terre sont saisis comme des realites symetriques: les speculations alchimiques de Tycho Brahe (1546-1601), ou la fortune du paracelsisme, refletent bien la conscience nouvelle de cette symetrie, et d'une solidarite inconnue de tous ceux qui, avec Aristote, tiennent l'astronomie pour une science purement et seulement mathematique. Dans le ciel qu'etudient ces nouveaux astronomes, il y a, comme sur la terre, de la matiere, du mouvement, et des changements reels. Cet ouvrage examine aussi cette decouverte, dans le sillage de Copernic (1473-1543), de la nature physique du ciel; la theorie des cometes ou des nouvelles etoiles engage ainsi l'astronomie dans la voie d'une evolution radicale qui, avec Kepler (1571-1630), la fera acceder au statut de physique celeste . C'est la le terme d'une revolution commencee presque cent ans plus tot. Michel Angel Granada est professeur d'histoire de la philosophie a l'Universite de Barcelone, et specialiste de la Renaissance. Edouard Mehl est maitre de conferences en philosophie a l'Universite de Strasbourg, et specialiste de Descartes.

Book Synopsis Kepler's Cosmological Synthesis by : Patrick J. Boner
Download or read book Kepler's Cosmological Synthesis written by Patrick J. Boner and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cosmology of Johannes Kepler remains a mystery. On the one hand, Kepler’s speculations on spiritual faculties are seen as the remnants of Renaissance philosophy. On the other, his comparison of the cosmos to a clock summons the mechanical metaphor that shaped modern science. This book explores the inseparable connections between Kepler’s vitalistic views and his more enduring accomplishments in astronomy. The key argument is that Kepler’s ‘celestial biology’ served as a bridge between his revolutionary astronomy and other ‘less scientific’ interests, particularly astrology. Kepler's Cosmological Synthesis sheds new light on one of the foundational figures of the Scientific Revolution. By uncovering a new form of coherence in Kepler’s world picture, it traces the unlikely intersections of mechanism and vitalism that transformed the fabric of the heavens.
Download or read book Conflicting Values of Inquiry written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-01-08 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical research in previous decades has done a great deal to explore the social and political context of early modern natural and moral inquiries. Particularly since the publication of Steven Shapin and Simon Schaffer’s Leviathan and the Air-Pump (1985) several studies have attributed epistemological stances and debates to clashes of political and theological ideologies. The present volume suggests that with an awareness of this context, it is now worth turning back to questions of the epistemic content itself. The contributors to the present collection were invited to explore how certain non-epistemic values had been turned into epistemic ones, how they had an effect on epistemic content, and eventually how they became ideologies of knowledge playing various roles in inquiry and application throughout early modern Europe.
Book Synopsis Change and Continuity in Early Modern Cosmology by : Patrick Bonner
Download or read book Change and Continuity in Early Modern Cosmology written by Patrick Bonner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viewed as a flashpoint of the Scientific Revolution, early modern astronomy witnessed a virtual explosion of ideas about the nature and structure of the world. This study explores these theories in a variety of intellectual settings, challenging our view of modern science as a straightforward successor to Aristotelian natural philosophy. It shows how astronomers dealt with celestial novelties by deploying old ideas in new ways and identifying more subtle notions of cosmic rationality. Beginning with the celestial spheres of Peurbach and ending with the evolutionary implications of the new star Mira Ceti, it surveys a pivotal phase in our understanding of the universe as a place of constant change that confirmed deeper patterns of cosmic order and stability.
Download or read book Interpreting Kuhn written by K. Brad Wray and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-08 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interpreting Kuhn provides a comprehensive, up-to-date study of Thomas Kuhn's philosophy and legacy. With twelve essays newly written by an international group of scholars, it covers a wide range of topics where Kuhn had an influence. Part I deals with foundational issues such as Kuhn's metaphysical assumptions, his relationship to Kant and Kantian philosophy, as well as contextual influences on his writing, including Cold War psychology and art. Part II tackles three Kuhnian concepts: normal science, incommensurability, and scientific revolutions. Part III deals with the Copernican Revolution in astronomy, the theory-ladenness of observation, scientific discovery, Kuhn's evolutionary analogies, and his theoretical monism. The volume is an ideal resource for advanced students seeking an overview of Kuhn's philosophy, and for specialists following the development of Kuhn scholarship.

Book Synopsis Unifying Heaven and Earth. Essays in the History of Early Modern Cosmology by : Miguel Á. Granada
Download or read book Unifying Heaven and Earth. Essays in the History of Early Modern Cosmology written by Miguel Á. Granada and published by Edicions Universitat Barcelona. This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most significant events in the history of Western civilization was the cosmological revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries. Among the most salient factors in this change, described by Alexandre Koyré as the ‘destruction of the cosmos’ inherited from ancient Greece, were Copernican heliocentrism and the substitution of a homogeneous universe for the hierarchical cosmos of the Platonic and Aristotelian tradition. Starting with a new approach to the issue of the presence of Islamic astronomical devices in Copernicus’ work and a thorough reappraisal of the cosmological views of Paracelsus, the book deals mainly with the abolition of cosmological dualism and the ways in which it affected the decline of astrology over the 17th century. Other related topics include planetary order and theories of world harmony, the cause of planetary motion in the Tychonic world system or the discussion on comets in Germany through the first presentation of a manuscript treatise by Michael Maestlin on the great comet of 1618.

Book Synopsis Composing the World by : Andrew James Hicks
Download or read book Composing the World written by Andrew James Hicks and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking in hand the current ""discovery"" that we can listen to the cosmos, Andrew Hicks argues that sound-and the harmonious coordination of sounds, sources, and listeners-has always been an integral part of the history of studying the cosmos. In Composing the World, Hicks presents a narrative tour through medieval Platonic cosmology with reflections on important philosophical movements along the way. The book will resonate with a variety of readers, and it encourages us to rethink the role of music and sound within our greater understanding of the universe.
Book Synopsis The Secrets of Alchemy by : Lawrence Principe
Download or read book The Secrets of Alchemy written by Lawrence Principe and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alchemy, the Noble Art, conjures up scenes of mysterious, dimly lit laboratories populated with bearded old men stirring cauldrons. Though the history of alchemy is intricately linked to the history of chemistry, alchemy has nonetheless often been dismissed as the realm of myth and magic, or fraud and pseudoscience. And while its themes and ideas persist in some expected and unexpected places, from the Philosopher's (or Sorcerer's) Stone of Harry Potter to the self-help mantra of transformation, there has not been a serious, accessible, and up-to-date look at the complete history and influence of alchemy until now.

Download or read book The Making of Copernicus written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions to Making of Copernicus examine exemplarily how some of the Copernicus myths came about and if they could hold their ground or have vanished again. Are there links between a factual or postulated transformation of world images and the application of certain scientific metaphors, especially the metaphor of a revolution? Were there interactions and amalgamations of the literary and scientific enthronement, or outlawry of Copernicus and if so, how did they take place? On the other hand, are there repercussions of the scientific-historical reconstructions and hagiographies on the literary image of Copernicus as sketched by novelists even in the 20th century? The history of the reception of Copernicus shall not be dominantly dealt with from the point of view of a factual affirmation and rejection of the astronomer and his doctrine but rather as accomplishments of transformation respectively. Thus, the essays in this volume investigate transformations: methodological, institutional, textual, and visual transformations of the Copernican doctrine and the topical, rhetorical and literary transformations of the historical person of Copernicus respectively.
