Exploring the intersection of modern culture and religious traditions, the author examines how the quest for Truth, rooted in Greek philosophy, has shaped contemporary understanding. He critiques the ideal of objectivity, arguing that it has led to a dehumanized perception of truth, reducing the profound human experience of transcendence to mere categorization. The book ultimately advocates for a renewed appreciation of transcendence, urging a more holistic view of human existence that respects individuals as subjects and acknowledges the deeper realities that surpass our limited understanding.
