This book traces the development of Kepler's ideas along with his
unsteady wanderings in a world dominated by religious turmoil.
Johannes Kepler, like Galileo, was a supporter of the Copernican
heliocentric world model. From an early stage, his principal
objective was to discover "the world behind the world", i.e. to
identify the underlying order and the secrets that make the world
function as it does: the hidden world harmony. Kepler was driven
both by his religious belief and Greek mysticism, which he found in
ancient mathematics. His urge to find a construct encompassing the
harmony of every possible aspect of the world - including
astronomy, geometry and music - is seen as a manifestation of a
deep human desire to bring order to the apparent chaos surrounding
our existence. This desire continues to this day as we search for a
theory that will finally unify and harmonise the forces of nature.
