Below I list the books most frequently cited (by my informal count) as legal authorities, and journals from
whence most of the cited articles came:
Every human existence which is not conscious of itself as spirit, or conscious of itself before God as spirit, every human existence which is not thus grounded transparently in God but obscurely reposes or terminates in some abstract universality (state, nation, etc.), or in obscurity about itself takes its faculties merely as active powers, without in a deeper sense being conscious
whence it has them, which regards itself as an inexplicable something which is to be understood from without — every such existence, whatever it accomplishes, though it be the
most amazing exploit, whatever it explains, though it were the whole of existence, however intensely it enjoys life aesthetically — every such existence is after all despair.
Whence, for the Christian in particular, there follows a radical incorporation of terrestrial values in the
most fundamental concepts of his Faith, those of Divine Omnipotence, withdrawal and charity.
That in the absence of our emitting some of the carbon back into the atmosphere from
whence it came in the first place,
most or perhaps all life on Earth would begin to die less than two million years from today.
