Summary:Dourley's assertion that Jung's thought excluded the possibility of a transcendent divinity that addresses human beings is challenged. Jung translated Kant's categories into psychological processes, but it is also possible to contend that the experience of the Kantian call to morality could be understood as more than an intrapsychic event. This possibility, that some reality stands over against humans, can also apply to Eastern religions that are nontheistic. There is a cosmic reality to which devotees of these religions are called to relate.
