The Copernican revolution is one of the pivotal moments in the history of modern science and thought. In a section of his work The Genesis of the Copernican World, the German philosopher and historian of science Hans Blumenberg attempts to reconstruct Copernicus's intellectual journey as a logical process, citing evidence from De revolutionibus orbium coelestium. This article examines Blumenberg's reconstruction of Copernicus's thought process, specifically as it pertains to the order of the planets. According to this interpretation, the ambiguity in the placement of Mercury and Venus within the Ptolemaic system served as Copernicus's starting point. His progression from a semi-heliocentric model to a fully heliocentric system is shown to be comprehensible within the framework of traditional principles of cosmic order and astronomical realism.
