Book Description	Conversations On The Plurality Of Worlds is a book written by Bernard De Fontenelle in 1686, which explores the possibility of life on other planets. This 1803 edition of the book includes notes and a critical account of the author's writings. The book is written in the form of a dialogue between a philosopher and a marquise, who discuss various topics related to astronomy and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. The marquise is skeptical at first, but the philosopher presents compelling arguments and evidence to support the idea of other inhabited worlds. The book was groundbreaking for its time, challenging the prevailing belief that Earth was the center of the universe and sparking a debate about the nature of the universe and our place in it. This edition includes additional commentary and analysis, providing valuable context for modern readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
