- Description
- Criseyde's statement that she lacks Prudence's third eye should be understood in the context of Augustine's theories of time and intentionality and the philosophical realism on which they draw. Her observation points up her failure to see "transcendent intentionality" beyond human distinctions of past, present, and future.
