Blog debates on astrology 1 by Deb The recent controversies on astrology in the UK media has led to quite a number of interesting blog debates, exploring the position of astrology from various angles. Some of these are sceptical, some support astrology, and some are fairly neutral and balanced - many are extremely well written and offer excellent and detailed food for thought. So I thought I would include a list of some of the still-active blog debates that are worth reading and commenting on. (I have listed them in reverse date order). These are just the ones that I am aware of; please feel free to add details of any interesting discussions I have missed (or as they come to attention): The rise and fall of astrology Thony C: (The Renaissance Mathematicus: 15 Feb, 2011) http://thonyc.wordpress.com/2011/02/15/ ... astrology/ A Modern Astrologer?s Intellectual Breadcrumbs Darin Hayton (Philadelphia Area Center for History of Science: 14 Feb, 2011) http://www.pachs.net/blogs/comments/a_m ... eadcrumbs/ Astrology and its problems: Popper, Kuhn and Feyerabend Paul Newall (The Kindly Ones: 14 Feb., 2011) http://thekindlyones.org/2011/02/14/ast ... eyerabend/ The Dismissal of Astrology: an Arrogance born of Ignorance, not knowledge Lori Tompkins (Circumsolations: 13 Feb., 2011) http://circumsolatious.blogspot.com/201 ... -born.html Philosophy, Science and the Philosophy of Science.
