Our Western society has become apathetically irreligious, as well as presumptuously idolatrous-a paradoxical situation indeed. An eclectic monstrosity has developed through intellectual liberalism and autonomous individualism. We have acquired a fragmented identity. Dissolution must follow. Accordingly, academic confusion and intellectual uncertainty even now prevail in our different educational institutions.
Truth is no longer identifiable, nor is it even desired.
The very concept of the 'absolute' is rejected outrightly as mythical, legendary, or primitive. Techno-scientific modernity has created a nation of metaphysical illiterates. Philosophic existentialism and secular psychology have deadened our innate religious sensibilities. We are no longer spontaneously drawn to the infinite. Modern man has erected an intellectual labyrinth through which he has epistemologically lost God.
