Love intervenes again and imprisons us - Green Philosophy - Roger Scruton
"I'm a great believer in the Hegelian dialectic which tells us that we begin from a state of immersion and inclusion and surrounded by things that love us and protect us.
We bust these chains asunder in order to affirm our right to be the thing that we are.
And yet at a certain stage, love intervenes again and imprisons us.
We gradually come back and repossess the world as a home, instead of as a place where we are simply pursuing our own advantage."
Roger Scruton at the RSA - Green Philosophy
