Summary
In this chapter key terms and concepts that appear throughout the study are reevaluated in light of the whole, in a synthesis that concludes with some epistemic axioms of the Tanakh. Apokalypto (Chapters 2–4) and theoria (Chapter 6); wisdom, knowledge, and power (Chapters 1–8); the religious and the secular (Chapters 1–8); and interactions of Mesopotamians, Semites, Greeks, and Europeans (Chapters 1–8) are relevant to the position and influence in western culture of Tanakh epistemology, and to the accurate statement of its postulates in western terms.
