{"product_id":"the-harmony-of-the-sphere-silvia-de-bianchi-9781443848442","title":"The Harmony of the Sphere","description":"The contributors to \u003ci\u003eThe Harmony of the Sphere: Kant and Herschel on the Universe and the Astronomical Phenomena\u003c\/i\u003e include professional historians of science, philosophers of science, and scientists, who offer different perspectives from which Kant's and Herschel's systems can be approached. The title, \u003ci\u003eThe Harmony of the Sphere\u003c\/i\u003e, is an evocative one. In it, the reader will hear an echo of Kepler's cosmological system. In fact, however, this title refers to the new model of the world defended by Kant and Herschel. This model dismissed the idea of a finite static cosmos, and introduced an evolutionary perspective. This volume represents a contribution to studies that integrate the history and philosophy of science. It presents, for the first time, a comparative study of Kant and Herschel in order to highlight the historical and philosophical underpinnings of their worldviews--worldviews which would in turn have a crucial influence on the development of nineteenth and twentieth-century astronomy and cosmology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Silvia De Bianchi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1443848441\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781443848442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Scholars Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.80w x 0.90d","brand":"Silvia De Bianchi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48748347228415,"sku":"9781443848442","price":67.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-harmony-of-the-sphere-silvia-de-bianchi-9781443848442","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
