The Philosophical Defense of Astrology“ examining how astrology was philosophically justified in the ancient and medieval worlds.

The talk shows how Greek and Arabic thinkers such as Alexander of Aphrodisias, Plotinus, al-Kindī and Abū Maʿshar defended astrology—some seeing the stars as directly influencing events, others as a kind of „sky writing“, signs that point to events without causing them.
