Description	The Copernican Revolution is a 1957 book by Thomas Kuhn. An analysis of the Copernican Revolution, it documents the pre-Ptolemaic understanding through the Ptolemaic system and its variants until the eventual acceptance of the Keplerian system.Kuhn argues that the Ptolemaic system provided broader appeal than a simple astronomical system but also became intertwined in broader philosophical and theological beliefs. Kuhn argues that this broader appeal made it more difficult for other systems to be proposed.Text available on JSTORWestman, Robert S.
