It is for two reasons:one is that from time to time we need to retierate to ourselves some.
It is for two reasons:one is that from time to time we need to retierate to ourselves some truths that,without such retieration,may well recede into the background of one's concerns;and the other is the present situation in which we find ourselves with regard to launguage.
1.我查了recede into the background 是短语,但是后面跟了 of one's concerns,不懂.2.we find ourselves .这个不理解

1.recede是不及物动词,没有宾语.of one's concerns是定语修饰background.one's是泛指的“人”,虽然是单数但是中文习惯要翻译为复数的“人们”.
recede into the background of one's concerns
消失在人们所关注的背景之中
这句话从英文角度来讲就组织得不好,所以你有困难也不奇怪.这里其实用的是比拟,形容真理并没有从你的视野消失,而只是因为和背景在一起所以你就视而不见了.
2.in which we find ourselves是定语从句修饰situation.如果把which所指代的the present situation代入这个句子,并且把倒置的in还原,句子就不难理解了：
we find ourselves in the present situation
这是很典型的英语表达方式,意思是我们处于当前这种状况.
至于楼上两位所说都有问题.这句话出于一篇很正式的专栏,不可能用所谓的“非标准用语方言”.find ourselves也不是“找到自我”.都什么啊.

may well recede into the background of one's concerns，意思是说，不经意之间便有可能会人们的意识中淡忘；we find ourselves，可以找到自我。

这有两个原因：一是时间，我们需要再滴定自己一些真相，没有这样的反复地说，很可能回落到一个关切的背景；而另一个是目前的情况，我们发现自己对语言
recede into the background 不再重要
of one's concerns一个人的问题
