He is especially caustic when it comes to apollonius of perga, who ursus ridiculously claimed had already set forth the ticonic system in antiquity. So that brahe's supposed discovery had actually been anticipated about two thousand years earlier. In order to rebut orses instrumentalism, kepler offers a sophisticated discussion of the nature of scientific hypotheses.
