Description ``I want to display the need for re-contextualizing any assessment of the Copernican revolution by establishing two claims: one, that Galileo's case for the Copernican theory was incomplete in part because it failed to provide a needed philosophical argument for what I have called a `demythologized Pythagoreanism'; and two, that Descartes developed a subtle argument for this `demythologized Pythagoreanism', which began to emerge with his Le Monde and which becomes fully discernible in the Meditations. Followed by a critique by Mertz, D.W. (pp. 211-219).
