"Although we no longer read Kant, we are part of an intellectual world that has been shaped by the responses to his teaching that there is an unbridgeable gulf between matter and spirit.... Those who believe in the Christian doctyrine of incarnation do not need to make choices [between matter and spirit] because there is an archetype for understanding how the world of flesh and the world of spirit make contqact. For if God was in Christ, and if the way to the Father is through the Son, then there is no need to accept a formulation that erects an unbridgeable gulf.... We do not need to choose between brute factuality and mystical derangement."
