Johannes Kepler was obsessed with harmony, but not just the musical kind. He believed in a grand cosmic synchronicity between three disparate realms: the abstract world of mathematics, the physical material world, and the human mind. This talk explores the intellectual history of cosmic comprehensibility, tracing the lineage from the Pythagoreans and Plato to the theological insights of Philo and Augustine. Discover why Kepler’s move to elliptical orbits wasn't just a scientific breakthrough, but a pursuit of an uncanny mathematical harmony that suggests humanity occupies a place of unique significance in the cosmos.
Speaker: Dr. Melissa Cain Travis, Distinguished Fellow of Great Books and Philosophy at Southeastern University
