"Social schizophrenia"

“WE are faced with a spiritual conflict of the most acute kind, a sort of social schizophrenia which divides the soul of society between the non-moral will to power served by inhuman techniques and a religious faith and a moral idealism which have no power to influence human life. There must be a return to unity—a spiritual integration of culture—if mankind is to survive.”

~Christopher Dawson: Gifford Lectures, 1947: Religion and Culture.
