This event is unique in the USA. For the very first time, staff from the Sophia Centre at the University of Wales, Lampeter, UK will be teaching an intensive, based upon the Medieval Cosmos module in the MA in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology program.
Your teaching staff will be Nick Campion Ph.D., Bernadette Brady M.A., and Darrelyn Gunzburg.
This intensive will examine medieval astrology in the context of wider theories of medieval cosmology. The western medieval world view was based on a combination of scripture and classical learning, in the Book of Genesis and the Greek philosophers, Plato and Aristotle. As people looked to the heavens, they saw God's glory, divine messages and planetary influences.
We will examine medieval cosmology and its beliefs about the moral and physical structure of the universe. We will also explore the uses of astrology (how did astrologer's actually work?), arguments about its legitimacy and the stars' role in salvation from sin.
