| Apr 15, 2021 at 14:06 | comment | added | Mozibur Ullah | Brecht took the view of dialectical materialism and was more interested as taking Galileo as the spirit of a new type of thinking in the world - robust, energetic and revolutionary - and this is why he described Galileo as such. The point is, you're saying "Galileo's practise [of astrology] was long overlooked ... and reflected in more literary works like Brechts play Galileo". Like I said, there is no description of astrology in Brecht, it's not 'reflected' there. You might want to edit your answer. | |
