“A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.”
—Leo Tolstoy
"Fanaticism... shows the anxiety which it was supposed to conquer by attacking with disproportionate violence those who disagree and who demonstrate by their disagreement elements in the spiritual life of the fanatic which he must suppress..." ~ Paul Tillich
EVERYONE THINKS MODERNITY STARTED AFTER DESCARTES OR EVEN LATER. BUT REALLY MODERNITY STARTED WITH JOHN DUNS SCOTUS'S IDEA OF THE UNIVOCITY OF BEING. BY TREATING BEING AS UNIVOCAL, HE REDUCED GOD TO A BEING AMONG BEINGS BUT INFINITELY DISTANT TO US. HENCE SECULARISM.
