Mathematician. Reading many things very slowly. Theological but not religious.
I remember it as mostly good but as overstating the case for incommensurability. E.g., (iirc) Aristotle wouldn't even be able to understand the statement that a pendulum oscillates because his paradigm could only conceptualize it as "falling in a disordered way".
