Publisher's Synopsis
Social Science in the Light of the Solar System is a book written by Jean Francis Leroy and originally published in 1913. The book explores the relationship between social science and astronomy, arguing that the study of the solar system can provide valuable insights into human behavior and societal structures. Leroy begins by discussing the history of astronomy and its impact on human thought and culture. He then moves on to explore the ways in which the movements and positions of celestial bodies can be used to understand social phenomena such as the rise and fall of empires, the development of language and culture, and the evolution of human consciousness.Throughout the book, Leroy draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, scientific research, and philosophical theories. He also provides numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers better understand the complex concepts he discusses.Overall, Social Science in the Light of the Solar System is a thought-provoking exploration of the connections between astronomy and social science, and a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual landscape of the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
