"In the age of Romanticism the absence of God eliminated even the proper features of transcendency and omnipotence, so that one was obliged to seek unity within one's own innermost world. It becomes clear gradually that the innermost world is an apocalyptic world, where time and space extend limitlessly in all dimensions. It is also a world which threatens the self with centrifugal dissolution into any direction. The center vanishes and eternal wandering begins. Wandering itself serves to formulate one's autonomous existence. However, abysses swallow abysses. Selves absorb selves. How can one escape from this labyrinthine self? The anxiety results in consciousness becoming locked in.". Seller Inventory # ABE-1583794500199
