Johannes Kepler, born in 1571 in south Germany, was one of the world's greatest mathematicians and astronomers. The author of this book uses this history as a background to his novel, writing a work of historical fiction that is rooted in poverty, squalor and the tyrannical power of emperors.

The cosmology of Johannes Kepler remains a mystery. On the one hand, Kepler’s speculations on spiritual faculties are seen as the remnants of Renaissance philosophy. On the other, his comparison of the cosmos to a clock summons the mechanical metaphor that shaped modern science. This book explores the inseparable connections between Kepler’s vitalistic views and his more enduring accomplishments in astronomy. The key argument is that Kepler’s ‘celestial biology’ served as a bridge between his revolutionary astronomy and other ‘less scientific’ interests, particularly astrology. Kepler's Cosmological Synthesis sheds new light on one of the foundational figures of the Scientific Revolution. By uncovering a new form of coherence in Kepler’s world picture, it traces the unlikely intersections of mechanism and vitalism that transformed the fabric of the heavens.

A committed Lutheran excommunicated from his own church, a friend to Catholics and Calvinists alike, a layman who called himself a "priest of God," a Copernican in a world where Ptolemy still reigned, a man who argued at the same time for the superiority of one truth and the need for many truths to coexist--German astronomer Johannes Kepler was, to say the least, a complicated figure. With The Pursuit of Harmony, Aviva Rothman offers a new view of him and his achievements, one that presents them as a story of Kepler's attempts to bring different, even opposing ideas and circumstances into harmony. Harmony, Rothman shows, was both the intellectual bedrock for and the primary goal of Kepler's disparate endeavors. But it was also an elusive goal amid the deteriorating conditions of his world, as the political order crumbled and religious war raged. In the face of that devastation, Kepler's hopes for his theories changed : whereas he had originally looked for a unifying approach to truth, he began instead to emphasize harmony as the peaceful coexistence of different views, one that could be fueled by the fundamentally nonpartisan discipline of mathematics.

Nous sommes dans les dernières années du seizième siècle ; une nouvelle époque, plus dure, s'ouvre pour la culture européenne. Une infime minorité de philosophes et de mathématiciens a entrepris de jeter les fondements d'une nouvelle constitution de l'univers. La genèse de cette recherche et ses premiers progrès sont reconstruits dans ce livre à travers l'histoire intellectuelle et humaine de deux personnages majeurs de la modernité : Galilée (1564-1642) et Kepler (1571-1630). Les deux savants ne sont pas simplement présentés dans leurs rôles de " pionnier " et de " vainqueur ". Ce livre nous les montre aussi en train d'élaborer une nouvelle physique et une nouvelle astronomie. On les voit aux prises avec les observations célestes mais aussi avec d'épineuses questions religieuses et politiques qui étaient indissociables de leurs projets et de leurs stratégies intellectuelles. Dans les mondes séparés et ennemis où il leur fallait bien vivre, Kepler et Galilée ont subi les injures des hommes de leur temps : Kepler a été excommunié par l'Église luthérienne pour ses idées calvinistes sur l'Eucharistie, Galilée a été condamné à la prison à vie par l'Eglise de Rome pour sa scandaleuse défense de l'héliocentrisme. L'ouvrage propose enfin un voyage passionnant dans l'Europe de la révolution scientifique.
