The Pursuit of Harmony: Kepler on Cosmos, Confession, and Community
Aviva Rothman
'The Pursuit of Harmony' follows astronomer Johannes Kepler and his efforts to establish harmony across the religious, scientific, and political boundaries of 17th century Europe. Kepler, it argues, hoped to harness his vision of cosmic harmony to a new vision of political and religious harmony, in which diverse perspectives could coexist in one peaceful community. The text situates Kepler at the heart of confessional struggles about the future of Lutheranism and its relationship to other Christian confessions, at the centre of debates within the Republic of Letters about the new science, and in the midst of the heated court politics of the Holy Roman Empire.
