“If we have⟳ succeeded in purging our theories thoroughly of the Descartian dualism, we are, in principle, ready to deal⟳ also with the psycho-physiological dualism which is its modern successor. No doubt⟳, the latter has changed with the fashions of thought sufficiently to discard the Descartian “substances”, and put⟳ in their place⟳ two series of “phenomena”—a series of psychical processes open⟳ only to introspection (its own⟳?), and a series of physiological processes open⟳ to public observation like⟳ all other physical facts.”

“By the turn⟳ of the 20th century, the Descartian model⟳ was no longer valid for intellectuals, humanists, artists, and scientists.”

“Thus, in a Bohrian world, there would be frequent communication among those who do micro- and macro-analysis, those who do cross-sectional and historical analysis, those who do aggregate, comparative, or case studies, those who undertake⟳ a Descartian or coevolutionary approach⟳ to studying the world.”

“Furthermore, this situation is helpful for demonstrating the way in which the Descartian paradigm is incapable of being an adequate guide⟳ to the rational choices of Catholic morality.”
