The course of history as a whole is no object of experience; history has no eidos, because the course of history extends into the unknown future.

Gnostic politics is self-defeating in so far as its disregard for the structure of reality leads to continuous warfare.

Don't immanentize the eschaton!

The problem of an eidos in history, hence, arises only when a Christian transcendental fulfillment becomes immanentized. Such an immanentist hypostasis of the eschaton, however, is a theoretical fallacy.

Christ is the head of the corpus mysticum, which includes all men from the beginning of the world to its end. He is not the president of a special-interest club.

The course of history as a whole is no object of experience; history has no eidos, because the course of history extends into the unknown future.

The death of the spirit is the price of progress.
