What happens when the meaning of life based on divine revelation becomes illogical? Does the quest for excellence end in the pursuit of material success and self-absorption? Locke Ferry argues that modernity and the emergence of secularism in Europe since the eighteenth century did not eliminate the search for meaning and the sacred, or even the idea of ​​God, but they were transformed through a dual process: divine humanity. And the clogging of human beings.

Ferry sees evidence of the Catholic Church's attempts to counter the growing rejection of dogmatism and the translation of religious traditions into contemporary language. The second traces the birth of modern love and human life, both requiring attention to others and even self-sacrifice in defense of values ​​that transcend life itself.

Concludes the statement with a strong statement in favor of what he calls "transcendental humanity" - a concept that for the first time in the history of humanity allows us to reach true spirituality rooted in humans rather than divine.
