“Man is no longer attracted at all by the good. He finds himself in a state of total indifference with regard to good & evil... the intervention of an external element is necessary. Obedience to the law is what defines the good, for example. "It is good because the law requires of it of me" instead of "The law requires it of me because it is good” — William of Ockham
