Darrel Rutkin

H. Darrel Rutkin received his B.A. in Classics from the University of Texas at Austin and an M.A. in Classics from Stanford University. Switching from ancient philosophy to the history of astrology as a part of the history of science, he earned a PhD in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at Indiana University. Although his research focuses primarily on the history of astrology as a part of Western natural knowledge ca. 1250-1800, his research at I.S.A.W. will return to astrology's roots in antiquity, focusing primarily on astrology's configuration within the divinatory disciplines as articulated in Cicero's De divinatione.
