XXIII. Humanity Has No PurposeThe philosophies of the past have tried to impart meaning to humanity by describing it as having been made to achieve some end. Bu there is nothing that gives humans the qualities they have including God, society, and not even ourselves as with Kan and Plato. There is no end for which humanity exists. There is no “ideal of humanity”, “ideal of happiness”, “ideal of morality.” The very concept of an “end” is an invention. We are all necessarily connected parts of a whole, whose “value” it is impossible to judge To admit this fact is a great liberation and we redeem the world by denying God.
