The Citizen

In Liberty and Tyranny, Levin In Liberty and Tyranny, Page 39, argues that God made the universe, set in motion the laws that regulate and operate it, and that this Creator also created humans, and they too are governed by a moral code that extends right out of God's natural law: "Man is more than a physical creature. As Edmund Burke argued, each individual is created as a unique, spiritual being with a soul and conscience, and is bound to a transcendent moral order established by Divine Providence."

No Max Stirner atheism, nihilism and skepticism here. Levin believes in God, in optimism about our ultimate fate, and believes in God and God's merciful presence and plan for humanity.

Levin asserts that this moral order gives humans a certainly true and binding set of moral dos and don'ts by which to live and die. No Stirnerian, poststructuralist relativism here.
