| Quotation | Three dreams of Descartes are central in his philosophy. They have a religious importance. The God of Descartes is absolute reality, timeless, simple, instantaneous action, breaking through into the conscious like a thunder clap [Note 3: Merton's reference to Descartes comes from Georges Poulet, Studies in Human Time (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins Press, 1956), 50-72.] |
