🔭 World Systems: The Path of Astrology from Ptolemy to Copernicus – Science, History, and Ideal Contamination The volume 'World Systems: The Path of Astrology from Ptolemy to Copernicus' represents a fundamental work for anyone wishing to understand the intricate development of Western scientific and astrological thought. This text offers an original and in-depth discussion of the radical conflict between the cosmological paradigms that have redefined our perception of the universe, from Ptolemaic Geocentrism to Copernican Heliocentrism. https://studiolorella.it/product-category/esoteric-shop/ World Systems The book's approach is fiercely critical and complex, inviting contemporary man to a fundamental reflection: there is no 'pure' science free from ideal contamination. Everything that man creates, including the most rigorous scientific theories, is actually grounded in desires, beliefs, aspirations, and cultural influences. The text highlights precisely this crucial aspect, analyzing the history of science as a humanistic discipline, deeply rooted in the sociocultural context of its eras. Furthermore, the work offers an authentic and innovative reading of Ptolemy's work, going far beyond the usual automatic association with the Aristotelian paradigm alone. The complexity of the Ptolemaic system and its role as a cornerstone not only of ancient astronomy but also of astrology are highlighted, demonstrating its intellectual resilience before being overturned by the Copernican revolution. This text fits strongly into the academic and popular literature landscape, proposing a new interpretation of the evolution of cosmological models. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrologia

The Conflict of Paradigms: Science, Faith, and Human Desires
World Systems The manual analyses the clash between world models not as a simple mathematical evolution, but as a collision between human and spiritual visions.The Originality of Ptolemy's Analysis
World Systems Beyond Aristotle: The proposed critical analysis encourages a reading of Ptolemy that goes beyond the traditional Aristotelian interpretation, which often simplifies his complexity. The text reveals the true depth of Ptolemy's work, as he was not only an astronomer but also an astrologer and a philosopher, whose theories were in harmony with the worldview of his time. World Systems Astrology as a Unifying Discipline: It shows how astrology functioned for centuries as the discipline that united astronomical theory (the mathematics of the heavens) with terrestrial practice (prediction and influence). The textbook traces the path of this union until its split in the modern age.Ptolemy to Copernicus: The Epochal Change
Clash of Paradigms: The transition from Ptolemy to Copernicus is not presented simply as an upgrade from a geocentric to a heliocentric model. The work frames it as a genuine conflict between scientific paradigms, where acceptance of the new heliocentric model required not only new observations but also a radical shift in beliefs and humanity's position in the universe. World Systems: Contaminated Science: The text emphasizes how science is never 'pure' but always influenced by human beliefs, desires, and ideals. Even the most rigorous theories, like those of Copernicus himself, are grounded in philosophical and theological aspirations, an aspect this book illuminates with clarity and historical rigor.The systems of the world Contributive Value and Distinctive Style
