"The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the disenchantment of the world.
Precisely the ultimate and most sublime values have retreated from
public life either into the transcendental realm of mystic life or into
the brotherliness of direct and personal human relations. It is not accidental that our greatest art is intimate and not monumental".
Max Weber, "Science as a Vocation" (1918)
