Being Established In My Life, Buttressed By My Thinking Nature, Fastened Down In This Transcendental Field Which Was Opened For Me By My First Perception, And In Which All Absence Is Merely The Obverse Of A Presence, All Silence A Modality Of The Being Of Sound, I Enjoy A Sort Of Ubiquity And Theoretical Eternity, I Feel Destined To Move In A Flow Of Endless Life, Neither The Beginning Nor The End Of Which I Can Experience In Thought, Since It Is My Living Self Who Think Of Them, And Since Thus My Life Always Precedes And Survives Itself.

Theology Recognizes The Contingency Of Human Existence Only To Derive It From A Necessary Being, That Is, To Remove It. Theology Makes Use Of Philosophical Wonder Only For The Purpose Of Motivating An Affirmation Which Ends It. Philosophy, On The Other Hand, Arouses Us To What Is Problematic In Our Own Existence And In That Of The World, To Such A Point That We Shall Never Be Cured Of Searching For A Solution.
