A History Of Western Astrology. X Jim Tester.

a history of western astrology. author: jim tester. this is the story of western astrology ? that ?ancient art? which cover everything from a vague acceptance of stellar influences predictions of the future. astrology, science or art, came into existence with the discovery of a mathematical system which enabled men to plot the relative positions of earth and planets against the background of the fixed stars. the story begins in greece, in the fifth century bc, with the absorption into greece of protoastrological ideas from the east. the greeks took stargazing and its magic and added philosophy geometry and rational thought the philosophy of plato and later of the stoics made astrology respectable, and bye time ptolemy wrote this textbook the tetrabiblos, in the second century ad, the main lines of astrological practice as it is know today had already been laid down. jim tester show how little astrology changed during its journey from the greek world through islam and back into the west in the 12th century; even in the renaissance and in the 17th century it preserved its conservative character, until it was seemingly killed by the shift of ideas in the late 17th and the 18th century. 20th century is outside the scope of this study, but parallels between the ages of its greatest influence in the past ? late antiquity and renaissance ? and our own times are irresistible. this is an important book, the first serious study of its subject. not only does it trance the history of astrology over two thousand years, but it also give full weight to man?s attitudes to it and its place in the history of western society and ideas throughout that time. ancho del lomo.- 2 ½ cm. ancho de la portada.- 15 ½ cm. largo de la portada.- 24 cm. paginas.- 256 editado en el año.-1987. precio.- $ 80.00 mas costo por envió. idioma.- ingles. *foto escaneada *con* su cubre portada y la otra foto *sin* su cubre portada. ¡¡aproveche su envió!! usted puede comprar uno, o dos o tres o mas libros y pagar el mismo precio del envió de un libro, ¡envié los otros dos o tres o mas libros gratis!
