Bateson, seeking the "story of our loss of the sense of unity," points to Arthur Lovejoy's Great Chain of Being (1936)
this book, in Bateson's analysis, "traces the story from classical Greek philosophy to Kant and the beginnings of German idealism in the eighteenth century. This is the story of the idea that the world is/was timelessly created upon deductive logic"
