and tarnished gilding
of Duke Humphrey, snuffing the faint, musty odor
of slowly perishing leather...; long afternoons, taking an outrigger up the Cher, feeling the rough kiss
of the sculls on unaccustomed palms, listening to the rhythmical
and satisfying kerklunk
of the rowlocks, watching the play
of muscles on the Bursar's sturdy shoulders at stroke, as the sharp spring wind flattened the thin silk shirt against them; or, if the day were warmer, flicking swiftly in a canoe under Magdalen walls
and so
by the twisting race at King's Mill
by Mesopotamia to Parson's Pleasure; then back, with
mind relaxed
and body stretched
and vigorous, to make toast
by the fire.

of the fact that union differentiates is to be seen all round us — in the
bodies of all higher forms

of specialization becomes ever more intense;
and in the field
of personal relationships, where friends
and lovers can only discover all that is in their
minds and hearts
by communicating them to one another.

by God.»
4This is not to identify Sherburne with the skeptical
mind -
body dualism established
by Descartes
and recently examined in its broadest ramifications
by Richard Rorty in his Philosophy
and the Mirror
of Nature (Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 1979).
If we ask:
by what is it manifest,
by what is it promised with historical clarity

Reinhold Niebuhr wrote in 1939, «The idea

body is a Biblical symbol in which modern

If human beings could communicate among themselves
by direct sympathy, then they would be as mutually dependent upon each other as the
body and mind are;

and distinct individuality over against one another.26 Although the relationship between one's

by direct contact
and generally through mediation
of vibrating particles
of air
and other kinds
of «matter.»

Just as Hartshorne's cosmology abandons the traditional Western metaphysical dualism

by Plato
and Descartes, that man is basically a dualistic being composed
of a material
body and a spiritual soul.
