Povzetek

Dandanes si težko predstavljamo, da bi lahko bila kakršnakoli praksa napovedovanja prihodnosti, kot je na primer astrologija, ki jo v 21. stoletju označujemo kot psevdoznanost, smatrana kot znanost v pravem pomenu besede. Z današnjega zornega kota je prav vsakemu hitro jasno, da so tovrstne okultne prakse strogo ločene od znanosti, saj jih ni mogoče zares znanstveno utemeljiti. V času pred uveljavitvijo moderne znanosti pa si ti dve področji nista bili tako nasprotni, še več, med seboj sta se mnogokrat tudi prepletali. V srednjem veku je bila tako astrologija ob bok postavljena k znanostim, kot so recimo matematika ter medicina. Pri slednji je vpliv astrologije precej izrazit, saj so srednjeveški zdravniki svoje paciente poskušali zdraviti na raznorazne, pogosto tudi popolnoma neobičajne načine, pri tem pa so si lahko torej pomagali tudi s poznavanjem dogajanja na nebu. V diplomskem delu želim prikazati, da je imela srednjeveška astrologija precej večjo vlogo, kot bi si lahko sprva mislili. Celotno obdobje srednjega veka v Evropi, ki bo zamejeno z letoma 500 in 1500, je bilo z njo prežeto; k njeni uporabi so se zatekali praktično vsi sloji družbe, načini uporabe pa so bili raznorazni. Najbolj izpostavljena bo njena vloga v kontekstu srednjeveške medicine. Delo sprva poskuša predstaviti srednjeveški koncept znanosti in okultizma v srednjem veku, kontekstualni oris pa se skleni z obravnavo odnosa krščanske vere do obeh. Temu v naslednjem poglavju sledi definicija astrologije in predstavitev nekaterih problemov njene zgodovinske obravnave. Za lažje razumevanje njenega razvoja je predstavljena tudi zgodovina, od samih začetkov, skozi plodno obdobje antike vse do obravnavanega srednjega veka. Ne nazadnje je na splošno predstavljena tudi srednjeveška medicina ter uporaba astrologije znotraj nje.

Sekundarni naslov:	The stars and man: medieval astrology and its use in medieval medicine
Sekundarni povzetek:	Nowadays, it is hard to imagine that any practice of predicting the future, such as astrology, which in the 21st century is characterized as a pseudoscience, could be considered a science in the true sense of the word. From today's point of view, it is quickly clear to everyone that occult practices were strictly separated from science, since they cannot be truly scientifically justified. In the time before the establishment of modern science, these two fields were not so opposed to each other, moreover, they were often intertwined. In the Middle Ages, astrology was placed alongside science, such as mathematics and medicine. In the latter case, the influence of astrology is quite prominent, as medieval doctors tried to treat their patients in various, often completely unusual ways, and therefore they could help themselves by knowing what is happening in the sky. In my thesis, I want to show that medieval astrology played a much bigger role than one might think at first. The entire period of the Middle Ages in Europe, which will be limited to the years 500 and 1500, was full of its use; practically all strata of the society resorted to its use, and the methods of use were diverse. Its role in the context of medieval medicine will be highlighted the most. The work initially attempts to present the medieval concept of science and occultism in the Middle Ages, and the contextual outline concludes with a consideration of the relationship of the Christian faith to both. This is followed in the next chapter with the definition of astrology and the presentation of some problems of its historical treatment. To make it easier to understand its development, its history is also presented, from the very beginnings, through the fruitful period of Antiquity up to the discussed Middle Ages. Lastly, general medieval medicine and the use of astrology within it are also presented.
