Key Notes
A poet's beautiful language enters listeners, is internalized and absorbed, and becomes the building block for a shared reality.
He says Kant's model creates three problems: what the noumenon is, why humans have time-space filters, and why subjective perceivers still share a common world.
He uses Hegel's Geist as the answer: the noumenon is spirit world, time and space come from one source, and shared reality is possible because the same source structures experience.
Mythology is the collective worldview or shared reality that lets a civilization understand reality, and Jiang treats modern science and history as contemporary mythologies in that sense.
