...the problem of the one and the many, of the universal and the particular, of being and becoming, and analytical and synthetic reasoning, of the apriori and aposteriori must be solved by an exclusive reference to the trinity. The only alternative to this is to assume responsibility for trying to explain the whole of reality in temporal terms. Thus man is placed before a clear alternative and there is no longer a temptation to attempt a solution of these problems by seeking intermixtures of the temporal and the eternal.
