Bergson's Theories Throw Light On Christology

Without claiming finality for the findings of modern psychology, we can

consider some results of the science as established. They are

sufficiently well established, at any rate, to provide a starting-point

for our investigation. In particular the brilliant observations and

theories of M. Bergson throw, so it seems to the writer, a flood of

light on Christology. We propose to outline the two key doctrines of

the Bergsonian psychology and show how they confirm the truth of the

orthodox formula and expose the monophysite fallacy. These key

doctrines are, first, the interpenetration of psychic states, and,

second, the distinction between deep-seated and superficial

consciousness.
