I paraphrase, but for Del Noce modernity (and especially late modernity) is predicated upon the attempted elimination of every
form of transcendence: the transcendence of truth
over pragmatic
function, the transcendence of the orders of being and nature
over the order of historical
construction, the transcendence of the civitas dei
over the civitas terrena, the transcendence of eternity
over time, the transcendence of God
over creation.
