Astrology and Philosophy: The Structure of Astrological Thinking from Plato to Jung (ASTROLOGICAL INTELLIGENCE: Mapping the Stars Across Thought, Culture & Civilization) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Is astrology a science, a language, or a mirror of the soul?

In Astrology and Philosophy, Nicole Lau traces the philosophical foundations of astrological thinking from ancient metaphysics to modern depth psychology — revealing astrology as a sophisticated symbolic system that maps not just the heavens, but the very structure of consciousness.

From Plato’s celestial harmonies to Jung’s archetypal cosmos, this book unveils how astrology has served as a bridge between fate and free will, cosmos and psyche, myth and meaning.

In this intellectual yet intuitive journey, you’ll explore:

• Plato’s cosmic order and the soul’s descent into matter
• Aristotle’s causal logic vs. symbolic correspondences
• Medieval and Renaissance astrology as sacred geometry
• Jung’s psychological astrology and the function of archetype
• The epistemology of astrological thinking: is it rational, poetic, or both?
• The astrology of the future: symbolic logic in an age of data and AI

Whether you’re a practicing astrologer, philosopher, or seeker of deeper patterns, this book will guide you through the structure behind the stars — and the inner cosmology they reflect.
