This must be my day to be especially dense because I don't see any "point
of contrast" in the Gardner sentence, " . . .heroic power of mind against
the brute intransigence of lifeless matter." Looks to me like a simple
acknowledgment of the mind/matter duality. So I think I must be missing
something.
Best,
Platt
