Publisher's Synopsis
A Plurality of Worlds is a philosophical book written by Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle and published in 1702. The book is a dialogue between a philosopher and a marquise who discuss the possibility of extraterrestrial life and the plurality of worlds in the universe. Fontenelle presents a scientific and rational argument for the existence of other worlds and the possibility of life on them. He explores topics such as the nature of the universe, the structure of the solar system, and the potential for life on other planets. The book was highly influential in shaping the Enlightenment's views on science and the universe, and it remains a significant work in the history of astronomy and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
