genuine citizenship is realized only on condition that man accepts an order of virtue that is superior to him, which is expressed as a manifestation of heavenly norms and of heavenly power over him. Unidimensionality annihilates the possibility of virtue.

This is just another one of those "I can't imagine how it can be anything but thus, therefore it must be thus" line of arguments. But it is not a proof of impossibility, it is merely evidence of this particular man's limit of imagination/knowledge.

It seems to be a common fallacy engaged in by philosophers, and religious philosophers are no exception.

What do you mean by "religious"?

All genuine philosophers believe in God. Philosophy is a love of truth, after all.

The rest are just masturbatory sophists enamoured of their own Systems and hypotheses.



In any case, his conclusion re: unidimensionality is true. I can pull a dozen threads from latests posts to illustrate, if you like.
