摘要
A number of years ago, renowned English biographer Andrew Lycett wrote a short piece about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that highlighted the seemingly irreconcilable tension between Doyle the creator of the "super-rational " detective Sherlock Holmes, and Doyle the passionate defender of "Christian Spiritualism ". In this essay, I aim to explore this alleged tension, ultimately arguing that these two Doyles need not be in tension-the only true tension being between the two terms in Doyle's preferred philosophy, "Christian Spiritualism ".
