- Description
- Summarizes aspects of cognition theory and posits that the "knowledge accumulated by past generations is encapsulated in language" and that, like a "palimpsest," imagery retains "vestiges" of the worldviews of the past. Discusses examples of Fortune's wheel, astral reference, and modal usage ("mot"-) in TC and KnT for the ways they record still apprehensible Ptolemaic assumptions.
