About The Author

Hans Blumenberg, the creator of metaphorology, was one of the most important German philosophers of the latter 20th century.

I know of no book that helps us more toward understanding [the Copernican revolution] than Blumenberg's…. The length and complexity of the work are an expression of the extraordinary care with which Blumenberg approaches historical phenomena.—Karsten Harries, Inquiry—
