""It is universal resurrection that synthesizes and really restores one humanity as the subject of the achievements of history, although in a different dimension of being. ... [For 'immanent progressivism'] there is no progress, for there is no one to progress in the absence of a unique, continuous humanity not subject to a temporal end." 344" — May 16, 2026 09:25PM
