Old vs. New


Raphael's Allegory of Virtue

"For the wise men of old, the cardinal problem of human life was how to conform the soul to objective reality, and the solution was wisdom, self-discipline, and virtue. For the modern, the cardinal problem is how to conform reality to the wishes of man, and the solution is a technique." -C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man
