TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Copernicus and the Formal Symmetries of History
It is the 552nd anniversary of the birth of Nicolaus Copernicus (19 February 1473 to 24 May 1543), who was born in Torun, then just as now part of Poland, on this date in 1473.
The Copernican revolution, like the industrial revolution, wasn’t a single event that happened and now is consigned to the past; both revolutions continue to unfold, and, as they unfold, they continue to transform the world. In this episode I discuss the ongoing iteration of the Copernican principle, that continues, in its development, to place ourselves and our world in a distinctively Copernican perspective. We have not yet seen the end of this.
