About this listen
Following on from episode 1, now we expand the directions up and down to look beyond, at the whole universe and where Earth sits within it. The journey the Earth has taken through various different cultural depictions is truly amazing and there’s no way I can cover it even in a 2 part podcast, so in this episode I’m focusing on aspects from Greek, Roman and arabic natural philosophy, and naturally coming to the European renaissance and the scientific revolution.
