The great difference between astronomers and philosophers since Copernicus and Descartes is that they had precisely the opposite idea: the astronomer has cried in desperation, “I'm not the center of the universe!” while the philosopher has cried in desperation, “I am the center of the universe!” Perhaps the only thing these great Fathers of Modernity really have in common is despair.
