ABSTRACT
Against man living in the civilized tradition, who like Socrates rules his private impulses by the laws of the public world, there are arrayed the great adversaries. A man who has humility will have acquired in the last reaches of his beliefs the saving doubt of his own certainty. The confusion of the two realms that is realm of existence and realm of essence is an ultimate disorder is an ultimate disorder. In the traditions of civility, the prevailing view has been that the two realms are inseparable but disparate, and that man must work out his destiny in the balance, which is never fixed finally between the two. Though the political government is concerned primarily with the affairs of the existential world, though the churches are primarily committed to the realm of the spirit, they meet whenever and wherever there are issues of right and wrong.
