19:00 The Living Sky – Cosmic Dynamics and Human Economies: Jonnathan Jones
Jonnathan’s talk will examine the long history of the relationship between humanity and the cosmic cycles as well as the relationship with the sky. This has lasted from the dawn of human history in the Old Stone Age through ancient cultures in Mesopotamia like Assyria, Babylonia and Egypt. Also Greece, Rome, Asia and South America. It will look into Medieval times, the Age of Enlightenment and to the modern era where these influences continue to have an effect. It’s a journey through economic and cultural cosmology and its derivative astrology.
