Connections between the Society of Jesus and astrology used to appear as unexpected at best. Astrology was never viewed favourably by the Church, especially in early modern times, and since Jesuits were strong defenders of Catholic orthodoxy, most historians assumed that their religious fervour would be matched by an equally strong rejection of astrology. This groundbreaking and compelling study brings to light new Jesuit scientific texts revealing a much more positive, practical, and nuanced attitude. What emerges forcefully is a totally new perspective into early modern Jesuit culture, science, and education, highlighting the element that has been long overlooked: astrology.

Ce livre décrit la manière dont les intellectuel·les catholiques belges ont participé aux grands bouleversements de la vie culturelle et scientifique de ces dernières décennies tels que le nouveau roman, la nouvelle vague, l'avènement des expertes en sciences humaines, le marxisme, l'écologie, le féminisme ou encore la psychanalyse. Leur engagement s'est caractérisé par une solide capacité d'adaptation. De la sorte, ils et elles sont parvenu·es à se repositionner pour affronter la vague de déchristianisation de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle et faire entendre leur voix. Ces hommes et ces femmes ont forgé un nouveau langage pour dire une foi réinventée, plus personnelle, qui témoigne des croyances qui façonnent leur être-au-monde. En cela, l'histoire ici racontée est aussi celle de l’évolution des identités religieuses contemporaines.
