"Kierkegaard was criticizing his Christian culture's distorted priorities when he lamented that the loss of your self—by which he meant each human being's immense inward dimensions—'can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all....Any other loss—an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc.—is bound to be noticed.'"

"The ancient Greek word kosmos, meaning order, arrangement or adornment, had a quotidian sense, like setting a table for dinner, or it could be applied to the whole universe. In the Timaeus, Plato portrays philosophy as cosmic exegesis. Putting things in order renders them more intelligible, and also more beautiful."
