    David,

    David said:
    I think the talk about solidarity is doomed in our disenchanted world, I can't help thinking we need to connect human existence more closely to cosmic significance. We somehow need a more impressive and broader story than stories about our fellow men, however much I value literature. Essentially (yes I'm doing ironic metaphysics again) I think we need to associate DQ with something divine, and SQ as the achievement of DQ. A cosmic achievement.

    Matt:
    I reasonable prediction, that humanity will not be able to live in a disenchanted world. The Rortyan, of course, predicts the opposite, that once we get over the disenchantment and start living it, it will be a better world.
