Üçüncü Araya Giren: Kepler'in Astrolojide Aradığı Orta Yol

And when, nine years ago, Helisaeus Röslin, a Doctor of Medicine and a philosopher of no small renown, took it upon himself to attack this new philosophy in a book published in the German language—being himself devoted to the old style of Astrology—and likewise when another physician, Philippus Feselius, attacked all the parts of Astrology indiscriminately from the opposite side, including the doctrine of configurations; I resisted them both by publishing two small German booklets. The title of one was Answer to Röslin's Objections; the other was The Third Party Intervening. In the latter, I defended the truth of the Aspects, while in the former, I asserted the manner of the cause by which the Aspects are effective. Thus, learned men have testified in letters written to me that, finally, a purer philosophy is being taught to Astrologers by me.
