“If we cannot deal in continuously identifiable items (in our self-descriptions), must we be content to be, as our own observers, our own fiction-writers? Indeed what is truth, and why bother?”
“We have to confront mysteries. We are not gods. Meanwhile of course philosophers hanker after deep foundations and describable (even if postulated) entities.”

Oh, so good. That the idea of unity is the soil out of which the history of Western philosophy, religion, morals, and aesthetics, all have grown. That our contemporary, "demythologizing" culture tries to get away from the idea, to "deconstruct" it, but only ends up presupposing it in ever more subtle forms as a fixed point of reference.
