Astrology and Anti-Astrology in the Renaissance:
University of 糖心TV, Graduate Space and H5.45

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries astrology and magic were among the most important topics of intellectual speculation in Renaissance Europe. The revival of various ancient magical and astrological texts as well as of Hermetic and Orphic traditions, together with a profound interest in Jewish mysticism, enriched Renaissance culture with new sources, giving rise to an increase of the number of both pro- and anti-astrological texts. Attempts to incorporate the occult knowledge into religious and philosophical thought caused the problem of the status of astrology in the Renaissance which is going to be one of the central points of the workshop.

Aim: the main aim is to trace the development of both astrological and anti-astrological ideas in Medieval and Renaissance Europe within religious, scientific and philosophical contexts.
