Chinese Book : Three Copernican Revolutions

This is the story of the gradual impoverishment and deterioration of philosophical thought since its zenith at the Copernican revolution and Newtonian science. This deterioration began as a revolt against Newton's science; a revolt that crystallized in what Kant named his own "Copernican turn." This revolt fruited as a third Copernican revolution at the beginning of the 20th century in Einstein's theory of relativity, and it still goes on and on. What evolved during this third revolution is the mature form of modernity as the need for emptiness posing as depth, and along with it the justification of evil in the name of relativism. The target of this story is the shaming of modern tradition into a return back to sane thinking, to healthy common sense and to the enlightenment of the good. Zev Bechler is Professor Emeritus of History and Philosophy of Science at the Tel-Aviv University.He wrote Newton's Physics and the Conceptual Structure of the Scientific Revolution (Kluwer, 1991), Aristotle's Theory of Actuality (SUNY, 1995). He also published three lecture cycles, on the philosophy of science, the history of scientific thought, and Aristotle's theory of science ( by the IDF Broadcast University).
