From the preface: Joseph Campbell spoke of AMOR versus ROMA, of spiritual love pitted against the authority of the Catholic Church. Although he was referring to marriage and the organizing power behind male-female unions, his description positions the spiritual and the worldly as opposing forces. In a fragment in The Will to Power, Nietzsche claimed that we need a Roman Caesar with Christ's soul. In this image, the two forces, the spiritual and the worldly, are united in one person. Opposition or unity, separation or synthesis: this is the legacy of our philosophical tradition. What if there was a third way? Instead of being opposed, or conjoined, what if Caesar and Christ were partners, even friends? If they undertook a journey together, could they call their age to task?
