“ The tendency to occultism is a symptom of a consciousness [that] has lost the power to think the unconditional and to endure the conditional. Instead of defining both, in their unity and difference, by conceptual labour, it mixes them indiscriminately. The unconditional becomes fact, the conditional an immediate essence.
— Theodor Adorno, “Theses against Occultism,” Minima Moralia.
