Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

..".The bulk of the book is a detailed exposition of how Kepler arrived at the first and second laws. ...The connection among the roles of 'science, philosophy, and religion' is made to appear almost seamless. Kepler emerges as a creative and introspective person with a strong sense of his ability to ask the right questions and to solve them. This book belongs in every library."--Choice

Reseña del editor:

Johannes Kepler's discovery of the basic quantitative laws that describe planetary motion placed the heliocentric cosmology of Copernicus on a sound mathematic basis and proved the way for Newton's work in the next century. In this balanced, clearly written book, Job Kazhamthadam, S.J., examines for the first time the religious, philosophical, and empirical factors that informed Kepler's thought and works and made his discovery possible.
