Cíle předmětu
For any community or tradition to be judged successful, i.e., to maintain itself transgenerationally, it must encode what it selects and holds to be knowledge in a way that is memorable and, then, effectively transmit that knowledge. This seminar will the explore the cosmological framework of knowledge characteristic of the Hellenistic era (end of fourth century BC-end of fourth century AD) generally, the apprehension and transmission of such knowledge by a number of alternative religious (and philosophical) groups, the cognitive capacities and constraints upon whereby this knowledge was formulated, and the predicted relationships between these three levels of analysis (epistemological, sociological, cognitive).
