What reading level is The Follies of Science At the Court of Rudolph Ii 1576 1612 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Thou damned mock- art, and thou brainsick tale Of old astrologie. " . . .
"Some doting gossip 'mongst the Chaldee wives Did to the credulous world thce first derive ; And superstition nurs'd thee ever since, And publish' t in profounder arts pretence; That now who paires his nails, or libs his swine, But he must first take counsell of the signe. " Hall, Virgidemarium.
Although gifted with extraordinary ability in mathemati- cal deductions, Kepler indulged in singular vagaries as to the tides; ...in his "System of Harmonics" (1619) he claims that the earth is an enormous living animal, and that the tides are waves produced by the animal spouting out water through its gills; and the effects of the sun and moon on the tides result from the alternate sleep and waking of the terrene monster. This bizzare conception was allied to the philosophy 88 of the macrocosm and the microcosm, found among the Greeks as early as the fourth century and current in Rudolph's reign. It taught that the physical universe, or macrocosm, is an organized being endowed with a soul and analogous to man the microcosm, and that an intimate correlation exists be- tween them, the former controlling the destiny of the latter and the latter having power over the fundamental laws of the former.
