Talk:The Astrologer who Fell into a Well

Source
"During the scientific attack on astrology in the 16th - 17th centuries the story again became very popular."

Can anyone cite a source for this? I'm not aware of "the scientific attack on astrology in the 16th - 17th centuries" and would like to know more. 2605:E000:1C04:C061:1C32:A03:D09E:D266 (talk) 03:38, 7 October 2014 (UTC)


 * As I understand the matter, the reasoned attack starts after Galileo's discoveries were accepted. There are interesting essays in Rethinking the Scientific Revolution which provide a good deal of detailed background. I am sure you will find more yourself on Google.
