摘要: A generation ago scientific ideas floated free in the air, as historians gazed up at them wonder and admiration.

How this incarnation occurred was a great mystery. could spirit be flesh? did transcendent timeless enter mundane contingent? Platonist providentialist perspectives offered ways speaking about mystery, but, general, it remained unresolved core orthodox idealist historiography.1
