A critical attitude, like activity, is one of the fundamental characteristics of our time. Both are interdependent.

Malebranche teaches that we see all things in God himself. This is certainly equivalent to explaining something unknown by something even more unknown. Moreover, according to him, we see not only all things in God, but God is also the sole activity therein, so that physical causes are so only apparently; they are merely occasional causes. And so here we have essentially the pantheism of Spinoza who appears to have learned more from Malebranche than from Descartes.

You're an evolving and transforming person, right? And how do we capture that dynamics of sexuality in that complex sense?
