FINITE FREEDOM
History is a series of unreconciled conflict,
and human existence is filled with anxiety and threatened with meaninglessness
Essential
is capacity for The Good
(Hegel)
-not superficial optimism-
□
Existential
is capacity for The Bad
(Sartre)

state of estrangement from his essential nature.'
(MLK, Jr, 1960)
