Abstract:
Levi ben Gershom, Gersonides (1288-1344), the eminent Provençal philosopher-scientist, integrated astrology into his globally Aristotelian cosmology, in opposition to Maimonides' vehement rejection of astrology as a pseudo-science verging on idolatry. In this paper I spell out the theoretical premises that were the basis of Gersonides' cosmology and evaluate its epistemological foundations.
