It has to be confessed that this dualism and lack of intimacy has always operated as a drag and handicap on Christian thought.
Let us proceed to indicate the effects of culture. 1. Our first institution in the Ideal philosophy is a hint from nature herself. Nature is made to conspire with spirit to emancipate us. Certain mechanical changes, a small alteration in our local position apprizes us of a dualism.
It was chiefly three modern ideas which led the Cusan on from dualism to pantheism the boundlessness of the universe, the connection of all being, and the all-comprehensive richness of individuality.
