Heterodoxy (intrinsic): Intrinsic heterodoxy is, we repeat, contrary not only to a particular perspective or a particular formulation, but to the very nature of things, for it results, not from a perspective legitimate by nature and therefore “providential,” but from the arbitrary judgment of a mind left to its own resources and obliged to “create” what the intellect when paralyzed – fundamentally or accidentally – cannot transmit to it. When a man seeks to escape from dogmatic narrowness it is essential that it be “upwards” and not “downwards”: dogmatic form is transcended by fathoming its depths and contemplating its universal content, and not by denying it in the name of a pretentious and iconoclastic ideal of “pure truth.” [GTUFS: LSelf, Orthodoxy and Intellectuality]
