Kevin’s Reviews > The Beauty of the Infinite: The Aesthetics of Christian Truth > Status Update

In reality, subjective certitude cannot be secured, not because the world is nothing but the aleatory play of opaque signifiers, but because subjective certitude is an irreparably defective model of knowledge; it cannot correspond to or "adequate" a world that is gratuity rather than ground, poetry rather than necessity, rhetoric rather than dialectic. p.138

Amazing book, this will be ranked with my favorites, tho it is quite hard.

The theme of beauty is absolutely the most important thing we have to recover. Post-modernity is essentially gnostic when it completely relegates God to a transcendent realm to which we have no access; it is a false apophaticism.
