Before the development of logical thought.
- In the old days of scholarship of F.M. Cornford and Henri Frankfort, the expressions of mythopoeic thought were seen as products of a prelogical mentality, because Aristotle's law of the excluded middle was ignored, and one thing could be two things, or more, at the same time.1981, William Irwin Thompson, The Time Falling Bodies Take to Light: Mythology, Sexuality and the Origins of Culture, London: Rider/Hutchinson & Co., page 213:
