| Note: | Testo in cinese Abstract in inglese |
| Abstract: | The aim of this paper is twofold. First, it offers an alternative explanation for the distant relationship between Kepler and Galileo through revealing their divergent ways of philosophizing. It shows the two Copernicans had thier own metaphysical ideas, especially concerning their notions of causation and of essence which differed from each other. Without disclosing the differences in their metaphysical ideas, it is hard to understand why the two Copernicans were never able to work closely together. Second, by way of examining both men, it also illustrates that Kepler and Galileo embraced conflictiong schools of thought wich were in existence before the seventeenth century. The reconciliation of these schools including Platonism and Aristotelianism, essentialism and nonessentialism, animism and mechanism, with Copernican astronomy was an important part of Kepler and Galileo's work in the early seventeenth century now known as the scientific revolution |
