Already during the late 1920s he had criticized the dissolute nature of the German university system, where specialization and the ideology of academic freedom precluded the attainment of a higher unity.
The entire universe, therefore, can be said to have a sacramental significance in which the "inward" (or spiritual) and the "outward" (or material) elements meet in a higher unity that guarantees for the latter its full validity.
Mr. Saakashvili was elected on Sunday, for example, when more than 1.5 million people cast ballots for him, and he praised that outcome as proof of "the very high unity of the Georgian people" -- something that could only have been guessed at without a formal vote.
