Exploring the evolution of human thought, this work examines how modernity shifted the understanding of life's meaning from a collective to a personal pursuit. Philosophers encouraged individuals to seek self-realization independently, distancing themselves from divine influence. This autonomy led to a dual movement: an acknowledgment of independence from God and religion, and a growing contestation of their relevance. The text delves into the implications of secularization and atheism, highlighting the tension between human autonomy and the Sacred.
