In a world of ever increasing compartmentalized thinking and specialization, we need new models and tools for thought which can help us explore the deeper nature of reality and the underlying unity of the rational and the irrational, of conscious and unconscious, of cosmos and psyche. This book shows that, whilst ignored and derided because of its presumed illogical origins, the kind of astrology which helped Kepler, Galileo, Copernicus and Tycho Brahe formulate their cosmological theories can provide just such a remarkable tool for unified intellectual exploration. Embodying in its flexible yet systematic symbolic language both reason and imagination, astrology, as lucidly presented, shows itself to be an immensely powerful heuristic instrument, and a richly fertile symbolic system for discovery across the spectrum of human endeavor. | |

Anti-capitalist tract by this Iranian Muslim sociologist and thinker, possibly murdered in 1977. Shariati championed a version of Islam that was one of individualism, science, faith and personal devotion culminating in the concepts of 'Liberty, Equality, and Spirituality.' This trilogy existing alongside his vision of democracy without capitalism or totalitarianism was the core of Shariati's vision of the Iranian utopian state. He was in and out of the Shah's prisons. Strongly against Islamic fundamentalism, nevertheless Khomeini, emerging as the ultimate leader of the Islamic revolution, incorporated much of Shariati's Marxist 'Third Worldist' ideology into his own. Shariati is considered to be one of the most influential philosophical leaders of pre-revolutionary Iran and the impact and popularity of his thought continues to be felt throughout Iranian society many years later. | |
