"When individual self-contemplation becomes the basis of the self, rather than the relation to the divine and human others on which our reality actually depends, the self begins to disappear" (118).

A bit of a stiff read, but very insightful, especially on how the "many" are absorbed into the "one" and how that has lead to the tyranny of the consumer culture etc.

I read this back in 2006, and am picking it up for a second read (2014).
