“It is quite evident that the present time especially cries out for a keener awareness of the Socratic-Platonic wisdom… It cries out for resistance to the attempt and the temptation to establish the autocratic rule of man, who deludes himself that he possesses sovereign powers over the world and over himself and thus squanders his real existential patrimony.”
- Josef Pieper, Divine Madness: Plato’s Case Against Secular Humanism
