On the side of transcendence, I was talking more about Burke, Oakeshott, Voegelin, who all say that society is terribly complex, but that it is complex for a reason. We have the institutions that we do in order to govern our passions appropriately.
Voegelin is definitely on the right track when talks about the spiritual health of a society and it's importance in providing guidance to evaluating moral situations.
