总结:By examining some of the thought of Paul Tillich and Henry David Thoreau, this article articulates a version of the concept of depth that is socially critical.

Such criticism, ofa structure sofundamental to modern experience, suggests that the concept of depth is not simply a mystifying supporter of established power. Instead, it can play an important role in a religious, yet progressive, critical social thought.
