| Â | Geocentric model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The geocentric model held sway into the early modern age; from the late 16th century onward it was gradually replaced by the heliocentric model of Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler due to the simplicity and predictive accuracy of that newer model. | | | However, some religious fundamentalists still interpret Scripture as indicating that the Earth is the physical center of the universe- known as modern geocentrism. | | | At this time, geocentrism is rejected in scientific and popular opinion; and it is believed that the Sun is at the center of the solar system, but not the universe (see Heliocentrism), so a better term for the modern view is geokineticism (i.e. |

| | In the middle age the development of the hierarchy occupies the foreground, so that it may be called the church of the Popes, as distinct from the ancient church of the Fathers, and the modern church of the Reformers. | | | This is the age of the Graeco-Latin church, or of the Christian Fathers. | | | The plain symbols and crude sculptures of the catacombs correspond to the period of persecution; the basilicas to the Nicene age; the Byzantine churches to the genius of the Byzantine state-churchism; the Gothic cathedrals to the Romano-Germanic catholicism of the middle ages; the renaissance style to the revival of letters. |

| | It is sufficient for us that the Patriarchal Age has been shown by modern discovery to be a fact, and that in the narratives of the Book of Genesis we have authentic records of the past. | | | Patriarchal Palestine is for us the Palestine of the Patriarchal Age, as it has been disclosed by archaeological research, not the Palestine in which the revelation of God's will to man was to be made. | | | Before that age was over it had altered very materially; the old cities for the most part still remained, but new races had taken the place of the older ones, new kingdoms had arisen, and the earlier landmarks had been displaced. |

| | The book’s final section, "Figures of the Human Subject," depicts post-religious modern man. Some may still believe in God, and even be profoundly religious, Gauchet muses, but this is increasingly a privatized faith, as each seeks out what religion can do for him—hence the abundance of New Age spiritualities. | | | The world religions of the "Axial Age" (the term is the German philosopher Karl Jasper’s) brought with them a three-fold "dynamics of transcendence." First, the sacred, previously dispersed throughout nature, drew together as an omnipotent God, acting in the world but increasingly transcendent from it. | | | While here his narrative is too abstractly theoretical when it cries out for detail, Gauchet has elsewhere provided more finely grained studies, yet untranslated, exploring the birth of the asylum, the antinomies of political representation in the French Revolution, and the emergence of modern psychiatry in order to put flesh on his theoretical skeleton. |
