Samenvatting
By examining writings of Kepler, Godwin, Hooke, Cyrano, Cavendish, Fontenelle, and others, this title shows that it was through the telling of stories - such as accounts of celestial journeys - that the Copernican hypothesis, for example, found an ontological weight that its geometric models did not provide.
