Description
Nakao discusses traveling as physical movement through space and mental movement through time. A dual space-time scheme is central to the structure of CT and contributes to the rise of dualistic interpretations of such words and phrases as "licour" (1.3), "engendred" (1.4), and "nature" (1.11) in GP and "Bobbe-up-and-doun" in ManT (9.2).
