Scientific accounts of the universe from antiquity to Kepler
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 July 2009
Abstract
The paper describes very briefly the development of theoretical accounts of the system of the world from Antiquity to Kepler. It shows how all the three great scientific traditions—the Aristotelian, the Platonic and the Archimedean—have been active throughout this history. There is no single ‘scientific’ approach to the phenomena of nature.
