In Copernicus in the Cultural Debates of the Renaissance, Pietro
Daniel Omodeo presents a general overview of the reception of
Copernicus's astronomical proposal from the years immediately
preceding the publication of De revolutionibus (1543) to the Roman
prohibition of heliocentric hypotheses in 1616. Relying on a
detailed investigation of early modern sources, the author
systematically examines a series of issues ranging from computation
to epistemology, natural philosophy, theology and ethics. In
addition to offering a pluralistic and interdisciplinary
perspective on post-Copernican astronomy, the study goes beyond
purely cosmological and geometrical issues and engages in a
wide-ranging discussion of how Copernicus's legacy interacted with
European culture and how his image and theories evolved as a
result.
