Book Reviews of Cosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New World View
Book Review: "Save the Appearances"
Summary: 2 Stars
Tarnas has an impressive knowledge of history, but seems to have forgotten that science does not mean fitting data into a pre-determined paradigm. Quite the reverse. His attempt to "prove" astrological influence on history reminds me of the "save the appearances" credo of his predecessors.
The works of Copernicus, de Brahe, Keppler, Newton, et al., that contributed to our understanding of the universe were based on hard science--mathematics and detailed observation, arrived at after leaving aside the idiosyncratic views of each observer.
While Tarnas may have some interesting things to say about psychological archetypes, it is not new; though a close look at the subjective, or way we construct our worldview, is always valuable. His book may have some value in that domain.
