摘要

我们研究了在植物学和医学知识的获取和保留中使用认知技术。我们关注的是Cruz-Badianus抄本，这是一份16世纪的纳瓦（阿兹特克）植物标本馆，讨论了植物治疗一系列疾病的用途。我们展示了古抄本如何反映了中美洲的宇宙观，特别是人体与宇宙的联系，以及冷热的极性和平衡。我们假设，作为古籍中医药用途基础的宇宙学和哲学思想不是偶然的，而是有助于支撑知识，将成功的疗法保留在记忆中，并有助于信息的传递。

Cosmovision as Cognitive Technology: The Case of Mesoamerican Medicinal Knowledge.

We examine the use of cognitive technologies in the acquisition and retention of botanical and medicinal knowledge. We focus on the Cruz-Badianus codex, a 16th-century Nahua (Aztec) herbarium which discusses the use of plants for a range of illnesses. We show how the codex reflects the Mesoamerican cosmovision, in particular, the association of the human body and cosmos, and the polarity and balance of hot and cold. We hypothesize that the cosmological and philosophical ideas that underlie the medicinal uses prescribed in the codex are not incidental, but rather help to scaffold knowledge, retain in memory successful remedies, and aid the transmission of information.
