Economics As A Historical Science(1998, Theoria, Vol 13/2, pp.241-260)
我問他一問題：
I was a little confused with Theoria because what my impression is it is a Swedish one and quarterly. Anyway, please advise the Greek message in its cover.
這或許是他的回答：
Literally, it reads: "The gods do arithmetic," which I think means,
"The gods are mathematicians." 照字面為「神明們作數學」；我以為它的意思是「神明們為數學家。」
現在可以更清楚了解這字眼：
Theoria (Greek θεωρία) is Greek for contemplation or perception of beauty as a moral faculty (OED).
「Ruskin說在欣賞藝術時有兩種經驗：一個叫做Aesthesis 就是美感，即吾人對於愉快之本能的感受，一個叫做 Theoria ，就是對藝術的崇高的虔誠的認識。」（梁實秋『文學的美』）
