I think that is irrational, you have not answered the argument. I hope you will come and look at the Schleiermacher thing on blog.met wrote: ↑Mon Sep 10, 2018 11:47 amSo does it all come down to "being having depth" or not - as Tillich says?
I think the whole concept of causality depends on the significance of what is "caused" and perhaps we can imagine a whirling something, like a multiverse, that simply tries out all the possibilities without intention. That doesn't seem a "cause" in the same sense as the other.

It depends on what assumptions you have going in. You ought to read Nozick.
beyond being is a contradiction in terms, That's Ike saying its beyond being real.

Seems like a semantic issue here?.beyond being is a contradiction in terms, That's Ike saying its beyond being real.
Is the possible (but not actual) " real"?
In some senses, but in some others not....
The “One” is the space of the “world” of the tick, but also the “pinch” of the lobster, or that rendezvous in person to confirm online pictures (with a new lover or an old God). This is the machinery operative...as “onto-theology."

Re: CA: Cosmological Argument for the Existence of God
met, I was thinking more in terms of beings -- the for-itself vs the in-itself. Conscious creatures who are defined by their possibilities more than by their present state or condition, and how if this would apply to us humans, it would apply even more so to God, maybe infinitely more so. God would not be reducible to a set of present facts or conditions but pure cosnciousness, a set of possibilitites, and in that sense he would transcend being. At least that's my take on it.
