The details of previous critiques and summaries served Copernicus in his own reformation of ancient astronomy ( Swerdlow and Neugebauer 1984).Д«ono, Mario di. Some mathematicians and natural philosophers, however, objected to some of PtolemyвЂ™s models and solutions, and they proposed alternative geometrical solutions ( Kennedy and Roberts 1959, Hartner 1975, Ragep 2007, Feldhay and Ragep 2017), or demanded genuine concentric solutions to explain the motions of the celestial bodies ( Bono 1995). The Copernican theory also challenged standard interpretations of the Bible and conceptions reinforced by traditional religion about the place of humankind in the universe and its ultimate end.ДЄfter Ptolemy, most astronomers and philosophers followed a compromise interpretation of geocentricism that imbedded the Ptolemaic eccentric and epicycle models in concentric spheres ( Pedersen 1974, Grant 1994, Ptolemy 1998). The Copernican revolution in cosmography (later called вЂњcosmologyвЂќ) had a profound impact on natural philosophy (motions of bodies, the elements, finiteness of the universe), logic, the liberal arts, and the structure of the cosmos. As a result, experts have been trying to reconstruct his path to the heliocentric theory ever since. Copernicus did not explain, however, exactly how he came to the conclusions that the problem lay in geocentrism and the solution in heliocentrism. Relying on Renaissance humanist predecessors and contemporaries, Copernicus expressed deep dissatisfaction with the confusion in astronomy, and he intimated that the artisan who created the universe for our sake also created humans with the capacity to discover and understand the structure of that universe with certainty. Copernicus cited disagreements among his predecessors over observations, principles, assumptions, explanations, and, even worse, over the order of the planets, the structure of the universe, and the commensurability of its parts. From the time that Ptolemy of Alexandria ( c.В 150 CE) constructed a mathematically competent version of geocentric astronomy to CopernicusвЂ™s mature heliocentric version (1543), experts knew that the Ptolemaic system diverged from the geocentric concentric-sphere conception of Aristotle.

You have to take the data of history seriously.Д¬ulture is part of the unholy trinity-culture, chaos, and cock-up-which roam through our versions of history, substituting for traditional theories of causation. If your philosophy of history claims that the sequence should have been Aв†’Bв†’C, and it is Cв†’Aв†’B, then your philosophy of history is wrong.
