Evolution has not come to a halt, as one might first have thought, in reflective man: on the contrary, it is making a fresh, and more vigorous, start, in the direction of ever higher degrees of co-reflection, in the form of self-evolution.
If evolution is to continue in a hominized medium, it is physically necessary that man believe, as vigorously as possible, in some absolute value possessed by the movement which it is his duty to forward.
How could man fail to be robbed of his zest for action by this alleged revelation of his radical uselessness?
Sooner or later souls will end by giving themselves to the religion which activates them most as human beings.
