The first paragraph about how the medieval model is based not on what an in-depth analysis of the history of thought and such might reveal, but simply what works were available to them -- “almost accidental contributors” as Lewis says. This brings to my mind (in an admittedly more stream-of-consciousness manner rather than a well-thought-out analysis) the part in THS where the company at St Annes (and primarily Grace Ironwood), is not terribly interested in analyzing Jane’s dreams from a psychological point of view or how they affect her, but are using them purely as information, not wanting to “contaminate” them with outside ideas.
