Quotes by Johannes Kepler

Johannes Kepler (1571–1630) — Astronom · Lutherisch · Deutschland

Johannes Kepler (1571–1630) war ein deutscher Astronom, Mathematiker und Naturphilosoph, der unter anderem in Graz, Prag und Linz wirkte. Er formulierte die grundlegenden Gesetze der Planetenbewegung, verstand die Erforschung der Naturgesetze als Nachdenken göttlicher Gedanken und geriet wegen abweichender Abendmahlsansichten in Konflikt mit der lutherischen Orthodoxie. Für Bibelleser veranschaulicht er, wie naturwissenschaftliche Grundlagenforschung und ein reflektierter Schöpfungsglaube zusammengehen können.
