- p. 11 - a nice table contrasting how Eastern and Western thinking differs. Dave Snowden often points this out in his talks.
- p. 22 - alludes to a move "away from authoritarian epistemology of medieval religious doctrine"....while this monograph only touches on the emergence of modern science, this seems slightly simplistic. See, for example, Frances Yates' "Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition", Carl Becker's "The Heavenly City of the Eighteenth-Century Philosophyers", or Pierre Duhem's "The System of the World."
- p. 26 - places epistemology on a spectrum from authority-based to empirical - seems like a triad with the emotive at a third corner might be a bit more realistic (inspired by Cognitive Edge's patent-pending triadic scale)....I understand the reason for the over-simplification, but it still makes me cringe slightly... :-)
Anyway, it's an intriguing take on cultural analysis. Check it out if you have an interest in this sort of thing.
