Koestler doesn't seem to love Kepler, but he doesn't dislike him as much as Copernicus. Its a much different tone than before. Also, I found it weird how Koestler was almost poking fun at the fact that Kepler was always sick and stuff. I mean, it's kind of unnecessary and doesn't really shed any new light on Kepler. Also, it was funny to read about how Kepler was all into astrology and the positions of stars. He made predictions depending on where the stars were when conception was made, and I just didn't expect that from him. When you think of scientist like him, you don;t usually associate it with astrology and arts of that form.
To end, here's a song inspired by Kepler and his writings.
