Reductionism solitary human identity has far-reaching consequences. Evoked an illusion to divide individuals into categories extraordinarily rigid can be used to instigate clashes between groups. (Chapter IX, p. 180)
Amartya Sen
Law deals not with actual individuals, but with individuals artificially defined. We cannot say that law-makers are under an illusion to the effect that all men are equal. They do not even suppose them all alike in being reasonable, or in being well informed about the law, or in being morally sensitive about their own rights or the rights of others. Law-makers have probably never been blind about the conspicuous facts of human difference. Nevertheless, the law in every community — and not alone in modern communities — proposes to treat certain large groups of individuals as were alike "before the law."
William Ernest Hocking
The hidden elite, or elites, beyond the cartels would be those groups, or that group, which institute and maintain, to the degree that it needs to be maintained, the planetary chessboard with its key pieces, that guarantees the success of ebb and flow, and destruction and rebuilding of societies and civilization over and over and over and over again that keeps human beings trapped within the boundaries of that game. And an elite which also functions to instigate and maintain the illusion of the space-time continuum itself. In that case we are talking about an elite or elites which are far beyond the power of the seven cartels to which I often refer.
Jon Rappoport
The synthesis of absolute innocence and absolute guilt is not an aesthetic category, but a metaphysical one. This is the real reason why one has always been ashamed to call the life of Christ a tragedy, because one instinctively feels that aesthetic categories do not exhaust the matter. In yet another way it is clear that Christ’s life is something more than can be exhausted in aesthetic categories: by the fact that these categories neutralize themselves in this phenomenon, and are still in equilibrium. The identity of an absolute action and an absolute suffering is beyond the powers of aesthetics, and belongs to metaphysics. This identity is exemplified in the life of Christ, for His suffering is absolute because the action is absolutely free, and His action is absolute suffering because it is absolute obedience. Hence the element of guilt which remains is not subjectively reflected, and this makes the sorrow profound.
Soren Aabye Kierkegaard
The division of the world population according to culture or religion produce a second approach would call 'solitary' human identity, an approach that considers human beings States only a very specific group. (Prologue: p. VIII)

I divide all literary works into two categories: Those I like and those I don’t like. No other criterion exists for me.
