Mavronicolas Quotes & Sayings

Modern transcendental idealism, Emersonianism, for instance, also seems to let God evaporate into abstract Ideality. Not a deity in concreto, not a superhuman person, but the immanent divinity in things, the essentially spiritual structure of the universe, is the object of the transcendentalist cult.

The integrity of the individual identity is counterpointed to the volatile character of a relativistic universe. — Maya Deren
