Το παρελθόν κρίνει το παρον

"Turning attention toward the body gas the historical merit of having balanced our views of the world of consciousness. If these focuses of attention, however, are radicalized to the point of negating all structures of consciousness that are not directly determined by the body, if basing consciousness in the body hypertrophies into the causation of consiousness by the body, then the radicalization and hyperbolization reveals an attitude that is characterized as morbid in the pneumato-pathological sense of Plato's nosos. The world of consciousness becomes a wasteland (of different degrees in different thinkers), and the facination with the vital sphere -sensuousness and vital forces, their growth and decline- dominates philosophical attitudes"
