Sažetak
A full understanding of the position of astrology in philosophy (especially philosophy of nature) from the 12th to the 16th century requires taking into consideration many cultural, political, and scientific activities of the time. Even more important for the understanding of the rise and decline of astrology as a respected science is the crisis of the Medieval worldview and the newly formed concept of a human being. Today we are so deeply steeped in considering as true natural sciences only those branches of knowledge that can be quantified that it may present a “leap of understanding” to accept that a pseudo-science (to use a modern Popperian term) such as astrology might have been taken as a rigorous scientific endeavour among serious and devoted scholars and “scientists” of earlier times.
