Softcover/Paperback. Condizione: Fine. Collectors copy. 2000 first paperback edition. The Craft of Thought first published in 1998 is a companion to Mary Carruthers' earlier study of memory in medieval culture The Book of Memory. This more recent volume examines medieval monastic meditation as a discipline for making thoughts and discusses its influence on literature art and architecture. In a process akin to today's 'creative' thinking or 'cognition' this discipline recognises the essential roles of imagination and emotion in meditation.
