No-no, I didn't say it anteceded RT.
It just appears to me that the early Christian fathers (mystics and ascetics)
treated comprehension as an (mutli-stage) inferential process, tambien.
So it would be interesting to know if anybody shares this sentiment.
The English text of this book is probably copyright, so I'm not sure
if I can quote it online in full (also, what if it changes somebody's
world-view. Too much of a responsibility :))
It's probably available somewhere at amazon.com
I have my own copy of this text (called "Lestvitsa" (escada) in
Russian), so I can mail the Russian version to you, Dr. Guijarro Morales.
In Russia, to read this text, which is part of a 5-volume compilation
called Philokalia, you need to get a blessing from a high-level clergy
authority :)
Best,
Andre
