Shiramah's Eighty-Seven Theses (concept)
Penned by the renowned Vidvaookeyartan Magi-Scholar Shiramah, his Eighty-Seven Theses on the Nature of Cognition and the Refutation of Empiricist Thought, or Eighty-Seven Theses, are a series of treatises criticizing the mainstream Empiricist school of Magic. Shiramah distinguished between two kinds of cognition—'mortal' purely intellectual knowledge and 'divine' visionary cognition—and validated his insight by casting spells of divination.
Another point of contention raised in these essays was his rejection of the idea that humans can attain godhood through attaining cognition alone, postulating that the human mind is prone to forgetfulness and must be altered through meditation and magic before it can retain all knowledge. The Eighty-Seven Theses proved to be a seminal work in the field of Kashiryan magical theory, and laid the foundations for what would later become the Oracular magic school.
