“One of the only coherent philosophical positions is thus revolt.

It is a constant confrontation between man and his own obscurity. It is

an insistence upon an impossible transparency. It challenges the world

anew every second. Just as danger provided man the unique opportunity of

seizing awareness, so metaphysical revolt extends awareness to the

whole of experience. It is that constant presence of man in his own

eyes. It is not aspiration, for it is devoid of hope. That revolt is the

certainty of a crushing fate, without the resignation that ought to

accompany it.”
