James E. Christie is a historian of early modern science and cosmology. His particular areas of interest include the history of astrology, the history of the ‘plurality of worlds’ philosophy, and the longer history of astrobiology and the extraterrestrial life debate. He received a PhD in Cultural and Intellectual History from The Warburg Institute, London, in 2018, with a dissertation focusing on the relationship between theories of celestial influence and celestial inhabitation from the classical period up until the early eighteenth century.
