Drawing on years of research and on thinkers from Plato to Jung, Richard Tarnas explores the planetary correlations of epochal events like the French Revolution, the two world wars, and September 11. Whether read as astrology updated for the quantum age or as a contemporary classic of spirituality, Cosmos and Psyche is a work of immense sophistication, deep learning, and lasting importance. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - "Save the Appearances" Tarnas has an impressive knowledge of history, but seems to have forgotten that science does not mean fitting data into a pre-determined paradigm. Quite the reverse. His attempt to "prove" astrological influence on history reminds me of the "save the appearances" credo of his predecessors.

Poorly bound on cheap paper , this one went to the op-shop. Rating: - never bought astrology until now wow whee. as someone raised by scientists whose creation myth has always been the big bang i was spellbound by the first section of the book on cosmological thinking. i didnt see the astrology coming. what can i say but woah gosh golly gee whiz Rating: - Astrology? Are you serious? This dense, heavy book is painful to read, and the pseudo-scholarship is all in the service of promoting the long-discredited view that the stars rule our lives. Give me a break! There is absolutely no evidence that anything in astrology is true. Wake up Tarnas, join the 21st century. Stop wasting your time with nonsense. Rating: - Compilation of Coincidences Offering no scientific proof whatsoever, the author embarks on a mindless quest to make sense of random events. The alignment of the cosmos is less a factor in human history than solar wind and the earth's magnetic field (and the latter two may have only a negligible effect). I initially thought that this work was an attempt at parody. see more Browse for similar items by category: Qualifying Textbooks - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - General AAS Psychology & Counseling - Health, Mind & Body - Subjects - Books - General Psychology & Counseling - Health, Mind & Body - Subjects - Books - General AAS Philosophy - Nonfiction - Subjects - Books - Metaphysics Movements - Philosophy - Nonfiction - Subjects - Books - Existentialism
