why do you think this question is relevant,particularly in the light of all that has been done to address this question across the centuries across the world?

Perhaps because the effort and the answers are necessarily individual efforts and answers even though a comparative study of various approaches could be very is not moist useful through the development of relationships between divinatory epistemology and responses to sacred landscape,particularly as this is developed in the work of Susanne Wenger and Katherine Maltwood.

The essay examines ontological and epistemological questions that centre of questions of agency in the constitution of knowledge. It explores questions that emerge from relationships between cognitive agents,objects of cognition and cognitive instruments.

Cognitive agents are the subjects who engage if cognitive acts,they are the knower who develop apprehension of phenomena which they may be understood as knowing or knowing something about. Cognitive objects/phenomena are the object/subject of cognition. They are the phenomena about which the cognitive agent,the knowing subject,develops understanding about. Cognitive instruments are tools through which the cognitive agent gains understanding ,knowledge,about the cognitive object,the object of cognition. At this point in this essay,cognitive instruments are understood as the means through which the cognitive agent extends or exercise their innate cognitive faculties so as to gain or develop knowledge.

The cognitive faculties we begin our investigation with are the human cognitive faculties and the cognitive instruments we begin with are the means through which the human being extends the capacities of their cognitive faculties so as to apprehend or develop knowledge.
