"When I think about what “modernity” implies an expression from Max Weber is called to mind – living in “the iron cage of rationality”. To me this speaks of an arid, disenchanted world, and I see Turner as encouraging us to search for and bring back the magical and wonderful to (re)enchant the world."

In Defense of Eupraxophy [pdf]
"Humanism must address itself to the heart and the passions; it must have some relevance to practice and conduct; and it must have some effect
