Introduction Change is as good as rest and good for everyone and by extension every society. Change is a phenomenon that is everlasting. Meaning that it is inevitable and all spheres of human life in all societies have been perpetually undergoing change(s). Thus our present experience is a consequence of the various changes- some drastic others normal and even unnoticeable- that have taken place in the past. Revolution is synonymous with change. Johnson explains that “revolutions are social changes” (1). This definition encompasses the broad meaning of revolution in the sense that there are various forms of revolutions including political, socioeconomic, and academic or philosophical all of which are intertwined. This task is a discussion of the thoughts and opinions about the philosophical aspect of the Copernican revolution on the basis of Phillip Frank’s article titled “The philosophical meaning of the Copernican Revolution.” Philosophical Revolution Drastic changes occur not only in the political and socio-economic spheres of human society but also in academic disciplines especially with respect to their philosophical, methodological, and theoretical foundations. It is important to note that all academic disciplines have got their own philosophy. That philosophy forms the source of knowledge in that particular discipline both among the social sciences as well as the natural sciences. Philosophical revolutions are usually accompanied by changes in the way professionals, experts and scholars in that field view their subject matter. In other words, they are accompanied by philosophical implications like the ones Phillip Frank seeks to address in his article regarding the philosophical meaning of the Copernicus revolution. Philosophical Meaning of the Copernican Revolution The copernican revolution was a change in ideas, that is, a revolution in man’s understanding of the universe and his relation to it Kuhn (1). Kuhn further adds that this occurrence in the rebirth of thought has been termed as a phenomenal turning point in the scholarly development of Western society. Phillip Frank begins his article by pointing to the fundamental problem with the philosophy of science which he argues is founded upon what faces a physical scientist, that is, observation of the real physical feature in the universe and on the other side the generally accepted principles of science. In between these two sides, he argues that there is an enormous gap that needs to be highlighted over and over again to succeed in helping the students of science in understanding the universe Frank (381). The significance of the Copernican revolution lies in its ability to enable human thought to apprehend the fact that what is found in our senses and in particular the “…’Naïve’ sense experience” is far removed from reality in the real world situation Frank (381). In other words, Frank’s work contributed immensely towards the realization of the gap between what our senses fathoms in relation to a given feature of the universe. An example is given of the long-held believe that our earth is at rest which Copernicus proved wrong by attesting that our planet is in motion. Frank argues
