| description | Physiognomony and onirocritics are two sciences that are supposed to provide the means to know one’ s future through one’ s ability to decipher the precursory signs of forthcoming events revealed by one’ s physiognomy or dreams. Analogy is a mode of interpretation common to both disciplines, but while onirocritics frequently resorts to the interpretation of dream visions in a round about way through mythical narrative, physiognomony very seldom refers to myth and solely as an authoritative argument : myth does not constitute a method of exegesis in physiognomony. Moreover Artemidorus’ attitude in his treatise The key to dreams shows that the scientist does not theorise the use of myth in a dogmatic way but that the latter must be validated by experience. Myth is subjected to the criteria of scientific empiricism rather than to rational philosophical criticism. |
