Whoa. Everything old is new again; there’s nothing new under the sun—even the garden of forking paths.
EDIT: A translation probably due to David Hilton, but the publisher locked it away behind a paywall.
I’m pretty sure that Jaynes covered this. Yep. Chapter 5. Converging and Diverging Views.

And I would say did a better job at clarifying the issue.
