In social institutions, the whole is always less than the sum of its parts. There will never be a state as good as its people, or a church worthy of its congregation, or a university equal to its faculty and students.

There is no extrahistorical or eternalist or abstractivistically pure standpoint where we can get oriented in the absolute Truth per se before dealing with the concrete lineaments of how we happen exist in this time and place.  We are participants in a dynamic system and we know its profile only by its action in organizing how we interact together and how we see our own selves.  "The truth is the whole," and the whole is a system of living energy:  our life as human and historical spirits.
