Money Wisdom #318

"Any attempts to comprehend human life in terms drawn purely from within the sphere of life, whether the rational calculus of ends or the raging of the passions, whether production and exchange or the conflict of interests, whether biological conditions or the development of cultures, is doomed to failure. For homo religious will sacrifice reason and passion, wealth and politics, nature and culture for the sake of what stands in place of the divine."

Philip Goodchild Theology of Money (2009) p.234
