Published over a period of 20 years the essays collected together
in this volume all relate to the lasting human preoccupation with
cosmological matters and modern responses to them. The eclecticism
of the typical medieval scholar might now seem astonishing,
regrettable, amusing, or derisory, according to one's view of how
rigid intellectual barriers should be. In Stars, Fate & Mind
North argues that we will seriously misunderstand ancient and
medieval thought if we are not prepared to share a willingness to
look across such frontiers as those dividing astrology from
ecclesiastical history, biblical chronology from astronomy, and
angelic hierarchies from the planetary spheres, theology from the
theory of the continuum, celestial laws from terrestrial, or the
work of the clockmaker from the work of God himself, namely the
universe. Surveying the work of such controversial scholars as
Alexander Thom and Immanuel Velikovsky this varied volume brings
together current scholarship on cosmology, and as the title suggest
considers the confluence of matters of the stars, fate and the
mind. The collection is accompanied by further commentary from the
author and new illustrations.
