Descrição: In considering the particular nature of the ocean as an object of western thought, sources to consider include the Hebrew Bible and some of its Eastern Mediterranean and Semitic antecedents, all of which posit the ocean as an antithetical element or object. This relationship to the ocean—and comparisons with other traditions show that the West's is distinctive—appears to inform a range of visions of the ocean, up to the present. Philosophical texts suggest that there may be particular difficulties inherent in the ocean as an object of embodied knowledge.
