Extractions: To the Greek natural philosophy, the Renaissance thinkers brought a fresh outlook, for the old views no longer entirely satisfied. In 1543, the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus published a book that went so far as to reject a basic axiom of astronomy: he proposed that the sun, not the earth, be considered the center of the universe. (He retained the notion of circular orbits for the earth and other planets, however.) This new axiom allowed a much simpler explanation of the observed motions of heavenly bodies. Yet the Copernican axiom of a moving earth was far less "self-evident" than the Greek axiom of a motionless earth, and so it is not surprising that it took more than half a century for the Copernican theory to be accepted. In a sense, the Copernican system itself was not a crucial change. Copernicus had merely switched axioms; and Aristarchus of Samos had already anticipated this switch to the sun as the center 2,000 years earlier. I do not mean to say that the changing of an axiom is a minor matter. When mathematicians of the nineteenth century challenged Euclid's axioms and developed "non-Euclidean geometries" based on other assumptions, they influenced thought on many matters in a most profound way: today the very history and form of the universe are thought to conform to a non-Euclidean geometry rather than the "commonsense" geometry of Euclid. But the revolution initiated by Copernicus entailed not just a shift in axioms but eventually involved a whole new approach to nature. This revolution was carried through in the person of the Italian Galileo Galilei toward the end of the sixteenth century.

Extractions: MIA Encyclopedia of Marxism : Glossary of People Comte, Auguste (1798 - 1857) Founder of positivism Henri de Saint-Simon , one of the founders of socialism and one of the first to see the importance of economic organisation in modern society. Comte’s ideas were very similar to Saint-Simon’s, and some of his earliest articles appeared in Saint-Simon’s publications. There were distinct differences in the two men’s viewpoints and scientific backgrounds, however, and Comte eventually broke with Saint-Simon. In 1826 Comte began a series of lectures on his "system of positive philosophy" for a private audience, but he soon suffered a serious nervous breakdown. He made an almost complete recovery from his symptoms the following year, and in 1828/29 he again took up his projected lecture series. This was so successfully concluded that he re-delivered it at the Royal Athenaeum. The following 12 years were devoted to his publication of his philosophy in Course of Positive Philosophy During the remainder of his life he was supported in part by English admirers such as John Stuart Mill Comte devoted the years after the death of Clotilde de Vaux to composing his other major work, the

The heliocentric model of the universe, which is now universally accepted and included in all science curricula taught in schools and colleges, was not always acknowledged by scholars. The history of Copernicanism, as this cosmological theory is called, is a case study in the evolution of human thinking and the difficulty encountered in challenging well-established traditions.

Extractions: Astronom Er besuchte das Kulmer Patikular, studierte in Krakau Mathematik, Astronomie und " den Aristoteles". In Bologna erwarb er die Matrikel des " hochedeln Collegiums der Deutschen" an der Rechtsfakultät.. Er studierte in Padua Medizin und promovierte in Ferrara im kanonischen Recht. Der ermländische Kanonikus und Scholastikus der Kollegiatkirche zum Heiligen Kreuz auf der Breslauer Dominsel wurde Leibarzt seines Onkels, des Bischofs Lukas Watzenrode in Heilsberg. Berühmt wurde er als Begründer des neuen astronomischen Weltbildes, obwohl seine Erfolge als Staatsmann und Jurist, Sprachforscher und Kenner der Antike nicht zu unterschätzen sind. Er zeichnete Landkarten von Preußen, verfaßte Denkschriften zur Münzreform. Unsterblich machte ihn sein Werk " De revolutionibus ", durch das er der Wissenschaft einen völlig neuen Weg wies. Goethe nannte Copernicus den größten und wirkungsvollsten Entdecker aller Zeiten, Lichtenberg sprach von einem " der größten und kühnsten Gedanken, die der Mensch gewagt hat". Sein Werk wurde fortgesetzt von Giordano Bruno, Tycho Brahe, Johannes Keppler, Galileo Galilei, Isaak Newton und endgültig bewiesen von Wilhelm Bessel in der Sternwarte zu Königsberg.

Extractions: Hevelius po polsku Nicolaus Copernicus [Mikolaj Kopernik] Polish astronomer, mathematician, economist, and physician. In his principal work " De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium On the Revolutions of the Celestial Orbs ") which was published in 1543 (the year of his death), he presented a description of a heliocentric planetary system (in which the planets, including the Earth , revolve around the Sun). This was in opposition to the geocentric system (in which everything including the Sun and planets revolve around the Earth ), developed by the Alexandrian astronomer Ptolemy, and almost universally accepted for some fifteen hundred years before Copernicus. The work of Copernicus had a major impact on the science and philosophy of the times after his death. Called the "Copernican revolution," it became one of the cornerstones in the development of modern science, in particular physics and astronomy. However, Copernicus still assumed, following the Ptolemaic system, circular orbits of planets. This forced him to retain epicycles and other elements complicating his heliocentric system. Also, it did not lead to improvement of the accuracy of prediction of planet positions. As a result, Copernicus' main arguments were more of a philosophical than physical nature. Only further progress in observation techniques (such that the invention of the telescope by Galileo and, using the telescope, the discovery of

Extractions: COPERNICUS, Nicolaus (b. Feb. 19, 1473; Torun Poland; d. May 24, 1543; Frauenburg) In 1491 he entered the University of Cracow where he became interested in astronomy. He went to Italy in 1496, staying four years in Bologna and three in Padua and finally taking a doctorate in canon law at the University of Ferrara. By this time he had become a canon of Frauenburg, a post he was to hold until his death. Copernicus's astronomical studies in Bologna, with the neo-platonist astronomer Domenico Maria Novara, both brought him a distinguished reputation and led to a dissatisfaction with the prevailing system of astronomy: the system outlined by Ptolemy in the Almagest in the second century AD. It assumed that the Earth, unmoving, was at the centre of the universe around which the Moon, the Sun, the stars and other known planets revolved with perfect uniform circular motion. In his work De revolutionibus orbium coelestium The book did meet opposition from Aristotelians and from theologians, who found that it conflicted with the Bible. Other astronomers, like Tycho Brahe himself, found it simply absurd that the Earth could be flying through space. A moving Earth ought also to imply apparent movement in the fixed stars.

Extractions: Copernicus entered Jagiellonian University in 1491, studied the liberal arts for four years without receiving a degree, and then, like many Poles of his social class, went to Italy to study medicine and law. Before he left, his uncle had him appointed a church administrator in Frauenberg (now Frombork); this was a post with financial responsibilities but no priestly duties. In January 1497 Copernicus began to study canon law at the University of Bologna while living in the home of a mathematics professor, Domenico Maria de Novara. Copernicus's geographical and astronomical interests were greatly stimulated by Domenico Maria, an early critic of the accuracy of the Geography of the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy. Together, the two men observed the occultation (the eclipse by the moon) of the star Aldebaran on March 9, 1497.

Extractions: Polish name: Mikolaj Kopernik. Polish astronomer and mathematician who, as a student, studied canon law, mathematics, and medicine at Cracow, Bologna, Rome, Padua, and Ferrara. Copernicus became interested in astronomy and published an early description of his "heliocentric" model of the solar system in Commentariolus (1512). In this model, the sun was actually not exactly the center of the solar system, but was slightly offset from the center using a device invented by Ptolemy known as the equant point. The idea that the Sun was the center of the solar system was not new (similar theories had been proposed by Aristarchus and Nicholas of Cusa), but Copernicus also worked out his system in full mathematical detail. Even though the mathematics in his description was not any simpler than Ptolemy's , it required fewer basic assumptions. By postulating only the rotation of the Earth revolution about the sun and tilt of Earth's rotational axis, Copernicus could explain the observed motion of the heavens. However, because Copernicus retained circular orbits, his system required the inclusion of epicycles. Unfortunately, out of fear that his ideas might get him into trouble with the church, Copernicus delayed publication of them.

Extractions: Copernicus is said to be the founder of modern astronomy. He was born in Poland, and eventually was sent off to Cracow University, there to study mathematics and optics; at Bologna, canon law. Returning from his studies in Italy, Copernicus, through the influence of his uncle, was appointed as a canon in the cathedral of Frauenburg where he spent a sheltered and academic life for the rest of his days. Because of his clerical position, Copernicus moved in the highest circles of power; but a student he remained. For relaxation Copernicus painted and translated Greek poetry into Latin. His interest in astronomy gradually grew to be one in which he had a primary interest. His investigations were carried on quietly and alone, without help or consultation. He made his celestial observations from a turret situated on the protective wall around the cathedral, observations were made "bare eyeball," so to speak, as a hundred more years were to pass before the invention of the telescope. In 1530, Copernicus completed and gave to the world his great work De Revolutionibus , which asserted that the earth rotated on its axis once daily and traveled around the sun once yearly: a fantastic concept for the times. Up to the time of Copernicus the thinkers of the western world believed in the Ptolemiac theory that the universe was a closed space bounded by a spherical envelope beyond which there was nothing.
