Garry Phillipson, PhD started studying philosophy in 1973 and astrology in 1976. The confluence of the two disciplines resulted in this book - Astrology in the Year Zero, first published in 2000. His subsequent investigations can largely be found in his PhD thesis, Astrology and Truth: a Context in Contemporary Epistemology - completed in 2020. He is co-curator of Cosmocritic.com, a site hosting works on the philosophy of astrology, and runs Astrozero.co.uk - a site for resources that supplement and expand this book. Garry's work has appeared in various academic volumes and in journals including Correlation, The Astrological Journal, The Mountain Astrologer, The Journal for the Study of Religion Nature and Culture, Culture and Cosmos, Organization and the European Business Forum. He is a part-time tutor for the Sophia Centre at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.
