Re: a cognitive theory of the sacred
Jan 20, 2004, 01:35
As I was saying, back in July....!

I can't pretend to understand a lot of it, but the first para prompted me to wonder something else about how to recognise a sacred landscape...

"people have participated in sacred-making activities and processes of signification according to paradigms of thought created by their ethnic systems of belief within specific geographical limits"

Specific geographical limits, yes. But does that mean intervisible? We talk that way, but on what authority? Maybe their sacred landscape had wider boundaries that we have no way of knowing.
