This is basically half reason for the Socratic method. And if the ancient Greeks, so in touch with the Earth compared to modern man, were angry enough to make him kill himself, imagine what people today will do. (Do not argue about high ideas with normies. They are neither capable nor desiring of matching your discussion)
The Liberal order successfully liberated abstract ideas from their origin. It separated the declarative from the ostensive-imperative. So much so that even common non-secular thought can no longer ground itself. Our ideas instead compete in an equal marketplace where everything is entertained except ideas which call in to question liberal democracies legitimacy.
I never considered that the view of each man as a unique image of God was the source of humanism. This makes me question whether bad translation of the Bible can be blamed. The Greek word used for “image” is actually closer to “icon” (literally “eikon”). I always took this to mean men are formed of the same inseparable substance as God at the empirical level of reality, as in Atma in Paramatma. Methinks the West would greatly benefit from a revive in monadic understanding!
I wonder where atheism came from because I can't think of any liquor of existence before 1700. It seems to be all rooted from a bunch of autistic peasants whom had a few bad childhood moments involved with the church and decided to take it out on the world.
