The image of humanity presented by modern psychology is not only fragmentary but misleading. In reality to be human means to be as if suspended between animality and divinity but modern thought - whether philosophical or scientific - admits only of animality practically speaking. Traditional wisdom corrects and perfects the image of man by insisting on his divinity not by making a god of him but rather by taking account of his true nature which surpasses the terrestrial and without which there would be no reason for his existence. It is this that can be called - symbolically speaking - the transfiguration of man.
