"The notion that books may so broaden and deepen one's knowledge of life, and so sharpens one's perceptions, that he can live more wisely and judge more intelligently, has dropped out of...to a large extent, out of Victorian, in fact the modern, mind." -- The Victorian Frame of Mind, Walter E. Houghton, 1957, p. 119. (Extracts from recent readings. Photo at sunset atop a Mt Scopus building.)

THE raison d'être to Böhme and Hegel
"The result of Hegel's project was to have been, he hoped, a return to a more 'natural' consciousness, like that possessed by the Greeks, but in a form that is fully modern and self-aware (to say nothing of being Protestant and Lutheran). Just as in Böhme, man's fall is necessary because his original unity with God and with his own true nature is an unthinking unity. We must be brought back to unity, but this time the unity must be achieved in full self-consciousness."
