English term or phrase: a dedication to mankind's higher self.
Parte del guión de la serie Hércules.

Tell me-, what do you know of the ancient Greeks?”

JP: “Uh-- they liked-- olives?”

Rob: “They are-- all dead.”

LM: “Uh-- they were very-- progressive. Let me tell you about
them. They were a noble society-- with lofty ideals-- and a
dedication to mankind’s-- higher self.”

Mi versión: una dedicación al ser que era la más elevada de la humanidad.

Alguna otra forma de decirlo para que suene mejor?
