The Best Criticism Of Jordan Peterson I've Read | IR #8
“If all enigmas are resolved, the stars go out. If everything secret is returned to the visible […], if all illusion is returned to transparence then heaven become indifferent to the earth.” — Jean Baudrillard
“What is the purpose, and, worse still, what is the origin of all science? What? Is scientific method perhaps no more than fear of and flight from pessimism? A subtle defence against - truth? Or, to put it in moral terms, is it something like cowardice and insincerity? To put it immorally, is it a form of cunning? O, Socrates, Socrates, was that perhaps your secret? O, mysterious ironist, was this perhaps your - irony?” — Friedrich Nietzsche

Paul Tillich’s The Courage to Be | IR #7
"The courage to take the anxiety of meaninglessness upon oneself is the boundary line up to which the courage to be can go. Beyond it is mere non-being. Within it all forms of courage are re-established in the power of the God above the God of theism. The courage to be is rooted in the God' who appears when God has disappeared in the anxiety of doubt." — Paul Tillich
My disquisition on the foremost Existentialist Theologians of the 20th Century, Paul Tillich's The Courage to Be.
