Description
  • This article deals with reservations of several Church Fathers to astronomy and their consequences for the early modern astronomy. In general, the Church Fathers criticised astronomy as a vain curiosity that does not serve Christians any good. I argue that when the early modern astronomers stressed utility of their discipline, it was not an expression of a new utilitarian way of thinking, but an attempt to neutralise these theological objections by highlighting the religious, social and moral benefits of astronomy. The spirit of material utility for which modern science was reproached in 20th century originally emerged as a need to legitimise science against objections of theology.
