400 years after the first known patent application for a telescope by
Hans Lipperhey, The Astronomy Revolution: 400 Years of Exploring the
Cosmos surveys the effects of this instrument and explores the questions
that have arisen out of scientific research in astronomy and cosmology.
Inspired by the international New Vision 400 conference held in Beijing
in October 2008, this interdisciplinary volume brings together expanded
and updated contributions from 26 esteemed conference speakers and
invited others. Looking beyond questions of science to the role of moral
responsibility in human civilizations, the book offers the unique
vantage points of contributions from both Eastern and Western cultures.
