Science & the Symbol I: Humpty-Dumpty (Ch.3) with Garry Phillipson
Is astrology a manifestation of materialist science? In chapter 3 of The Moment of Astrology, Geoffrey Cornelius argued that ‘like Humpty-Dumpty, astrology has had a big fall’, and attributed the fall to the view of astrology as science and the consequences this brings. In this talk Garry will focus on that chapter and tease out two competing views: 1) that astrology is (potentially) a science; 2) that astrology is a symbolic art that forever eludes science’s apparatus of understanding. There will be discussion of what has changed since Geoffrey’s book was published, and whether this makes any difference; of precedents for the competing views and what we might learn from each; and, of how we can best approach horoscopic work in the light that emerges. It may also be necessary to discuss Humpty-Dumpty a bit.
Please read Chapter 3 in advance.
