"The fact that ethics constitutes a problem reminds us that the object about which we are conversing has no objectivity [...]for we are not metaphysicians."

"The fact that ethics constitutes a problem reminds us that the object about which we are conversing has no objectivity, that is to say, it is not a concrete world existing above or behind our world; it is not a treasury of our spiritual experiences; it is not even some transcendental vastness: for we are not metaphysicians. Our conversation is about men living in the world of nature and of civilization; and, moreover, we ourselves are also men living of necessity from minute to minute a quite concrete life." (Barth, Epistle to the Romans, p. 424)
