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- "By the turn of the 20th century, the Descartian model was no longer valid for intellectuals, humanists, artists, and scientists."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