Patrick Curry has been a lecturer at the universities of Bath Spa (teaching the MA in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology) and Kent (teaching the MA in the Cultural Study of Cosmology and Divination). He has published books and papers on the history of astrology, the philosophy of divination, the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, and environmental philosophy. His most recent book is Enchantment: Wonder in Modern Life (Floris, 2019). In this session recorded in 2021, Patrick talks about the fundamental human experience of wonder. With a mixture of personal examples and respectful theory, the talk considers what it is and isn’t: its characteristics, conditions, limits, and dynamics.
