HITARQ?

I can confabulate a rationalist!Dante version, but I can do that with anything:

Ineluctable Reality has thus designed two ends to be contemplated of man: first, the happiness of this life, which consists in the activity of his natural powers, and is prefigured by the terrestrial Paradise; and then the blessedness of life everlasting, which consists in the enjoyment of Reality in its fullness, to which man’s natural powers may not attain unless rightly guided by Reality, and which may be symbolized by the transhuman Paradise.
