Revolve and Revolt

Contributing to the confusion over Kant's allusion to Copernicus is the use of the term 'revolution' to characterize a metaphor about theories of revolving bodies.  Further complicating the confusion is the ambiguity of the term, which can mean either 'revolving' or 'revolting', which are clearly not equivalent.  For, while the former means 'turning 360 degrees', the latter means 'turning 180 degrees', i .e. means 'inverting'.  So, the spinning Earth and the orbiting Earth 'revolve', Copernicus and Kant 'revolt', while the French Revolution accomplishes both.
