I took a deep breath as I picked up the final exam for Dr. MacKenzie's Modern Philosophy class. It contained a pithy statement on which I was to draft a brief essay. The statement itself said so much: The history of modern philosophy is the story of how God has been pushed out of the center of life and has been replaced by man. In other words, how transcendence has been replaced by immanence. Throughout history one enterprise has taken priority over all others - man's search for meaning. The history of philosophy shows us how this search has jumped the rails. It also shows us why so many men today are in despair.
