Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book traces how humanity conceptualized the universe from ancient Greece to the 17th century. Early Greek cosmology was rooted in mythological ideas, but gradually philosophers began to reason and experiment. This led to significant advances, including the spherical earth theory attributed to Pythagoras and Parmenides, and the discovery of the regularities governing the motion of sun, moon, and planets, culminating in the Copernican system. The author draws on ancient texts to illuminate the ideas of Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes, Xenophanes, Herakleitus, and others, revealing how their observations, theories, and debates contributed to the development of Western cosmology. This book offers a comprehensive overview of the major figures and ideas in the history of cosmology, providing valuable insights into the evolution of our understanding of the cosmos.
