The first effect of the mind growing cultivated is that processes once multiple get to be performed in a single act. Lazarus has called this the progressive "condensation" of thought. ...

Their defense is instead a task for metaphysics, and for philosophy more generally; and scientism is shown thereby to be incoherent.
Edward Feser
-
To us ... the only acceptable point of view appears to be the one that recognizes both sides of reality-the quantitative and the qualitative, the physical and the psychical-as compatible with each other, and can embrace them simultaneously ...
