“Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.”

-Niels Bohr

“Of course, many philosophers did not believe in God at all, but for Hegel not much separated these materialists from those who believed in a super-sensible reality. For they thought of some abstraction like Nature or Matter as underlying the changing reality of the sensible world. But an abstraction like Matter, which bears none of the particular descriptions of things in the world, is indistinguishable from a spiritual substrate; and a spiritual substrate without particular description is indistinguishable from pure being. We have here an echo of Hegel’s famous opening dialectic of the Logic, that of Being and Nothing; and the message is the same: in the end all abstractions are alike. Real spirituality is also material.”

-Charles Taylor
