Controversies

Thesis of sociology

April 7th, 2001, having supported in Sorbonne with the University of Paris V a thesis entitled: “Epistemological Situation of astrology through ambivalence fascination-rejection in the postmodern companies” directed by Michel Maffesoli, it became doctor in Sociologie, which caused some polemics at the time. Revolted by the title of “doctor” of Teissier, four Nobel Prize (Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, Jean-Marie Lehn, Jean Dausset and Pierre-Gilles of Genoa) even wrote a letter of protest to Jack Lang, Ministre of state education at the time. The scientific, philosophical and sociological aspects of its thesis for summer have studied by professors of these various disciplines, of which members of the Collège de France. Those consider that this thesis is not worthy of a thesis, in any of the disciplines mentioned, but is at most a plea pro domo of astrology.

The thesis was analyzed in detail by a group made up astrophysicists and astronomers (Jean-Claude Pecker, Jean Audouze, Denis Savoy), sociologists (Bernard Lahire, Philippe Cibois and Dominique Desjeux), of a philosopher (Jacques Bouveresse) and specialists in pseudo-sciences (Henri Broch and Jean-Paul Krivine). From this analysis, it comes out (extracted the analysis):

Once established the absence of sociology throughout the thesis which however claims to be attached to the one of the great sociological traditions (cf “It not thesis of sociology of Élizabeth Teissier”), the report/ratio of reading could be concluded on a judgment from dysfunction from the university procedures, not to say more. But the thesis places itself on a ground which escapes the sociologist completely. By his multiple references to celestial mechanisms and by the permanent claim of academic legitimacy and scientist of the astrological speech, the author of the thesis obliges the reader-sociologist to pass the relay to the physicists and to astrophysicists so that they come to a conclusion about the degree of serious references and scientific quotations used, as well as irrefutable arguments or the “evidence in favor of planetary influence” (cf “a not-thesis which hides a true thesis badly: an pro-astrological plea”). Lastly, because it is question of epistemology in the thesis, that the references to philosophers are multiple and that philosophy was represented in the Ph.D. examining board, it appeared logical to examine the thesis starting from a philosophical point of view (cf “conclusive philosophical Remarks”).

Predictions

Élizabeth Teissier is often attacked by violent one detractors, as for example Guy Carlier which cannot support it in particular owing to the fact that it had: “envisaged the vaccine against the virus of the AIDS for 1987… With each time I see it, I cannot prevent myself from thinking of the patients who hoped and who died this year there…,” and also for many other silly things which she would have pronounced in particular in connection with the “Topic of Iraq” and owing to the fact that Saddam Hussein just like Hitler and Pétain, is sign of the Bull (just like Golda Meir and Pierre Curie…) thus that it is necessary to get rid some… The chronicler will on the occasion to hustle it during the emission One cannot like everyone .

Having elected residence in Switzerland, Elizabeth Teissier caused a new polemic in 2007 while entrusting in a discussion with the daily newspaper the Morning (Geneva) published on September 2nd, 2007, that “in a birth chart, one can see whether there are predispositions for cancer, and the nature of cancer in question”. Generally she added “by analyzing the native sky somebody, one can draw the conclusions on her pathological predispositions” and that in any case “astrology forever killed anybody, contrary to medicine”.

Evaluation of its performances

Élizabeth Teissier regularly writes that it locates its level of success at 80%, even 90%. A test was carried out by the university of Nice in 2000 by comparing twenty-two of these forecasts of the year 2000 to twenty-two forecasts of a skeptic and twenty-two forecasts of a computer.
  • Objective of Elisabeth Teissier 16 successes (at least is 80% of 22);
  • Results:
    • Computer 8 successes;
    • Élizabeth Teissier 7 successes;
    • Skeptic 7 successes.

The protocol thus concludes with the total absence from particular gift from Élizabeth Teissier.
