From Halakhic Man: "In truth these two attitudes parallel the twofold nature of existence itself. The ontological dualism is a reflection of an ontic dualism....The duality in the attitudes of cognitive man and homo religiosus is rooted in existence itself. Cognitive man concerns himself with a simple and "candid" reality. He does not seek to closet himself with the hidden in existence but rather focuses his attention on its revealed aspect. This is not the case with homo religiosus. He clings to a reality which, as it were, has removed itself from the cognizing subject and has barred the intellect from all access to it. He is totally devoted and given over to a cosmos that is filled with divine secrets and eternal mysteries. The very nature of the law itself, the very phenomenon of cognition is an open book for cognitive man and a closed one for homo religiosus."
