Editorial Review:
From a philosopher whose magisterial history of Western thought was praised by Joseph Campbell and Huston Smith comes a brilliant new book that traces the connection between cosmic cycles and archetypal patterns of human experience. 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.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Very Disappointing
I awaited enthusiastically , only to find a long rambling hype ,that has been better discussed by others.
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.
Rating:  - hard to see
Poor quality printing. Content material seemed fasinating but I could not read this book. I had trouble reading this print since there was not enough contrast between page and ink.
