Esp radical is how Eriugena goes beyond the standard greek and latin neoplatonic Great Chain of Being. Though humans are situated in the middle of this chain, the fact that we can cognize the Great Chain means that the human being *transcends* our limited place within this Chain (Imago Dei moment)

"The lack of adequate attention to Marx in recent Anglo-American Hegel scholarship means that questions about the irrationality of civil society often lead to disconsolate conclusions. Regrettably, many of Hegel's finest commentators cannot go beyond his own pessimism."
