APPENDIX Z4:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wher<\/span>e is Option B?<\/div>\n
Summa proposes a uni\ue0c4ed metaphysics….<\/div>\n
call it Option A <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But, where is the competing Option B?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Obviously<\/span>, we have
\n questions with regar<\/span>ds Option A.\n <\/div>\n
But, with Option A, we do seem to have an elegant,\n <\/div>\n
overarching, seemingly seamless, powerful, crisp\n <\/div>\n
metaphysics which seems to elegantly \ue0c4nesse an
\n almost\n <\/div>\n
endless series of issues \u2013 cosmology<\/span>, cosmogony<\/span>,\n <\/div>\n
theodicy<\/span>, theology<\/span>, evolutionary biology<\/span>, teleology \u2013 and\n <\/div>\n
on and on….<\/span><\/div>\n
Option A happens to nicely dovetail as well with\n <\/div>\n
components of the T<\/span>orah
\n and with key components of\n <\/div>\n
Lurianic Kabbalah \u2013 aside from being universalistic
\n and\n <\/div>\n
humanistic and empowering \u2013 to all.<\/div>\n
So, therefor<\/span>e the next
\n obvious step might be to stack our\n <\/div>\n
Option A against Option B.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
But, what is<\/span> Option B?
\n And, where is<\/span> Option B?\n <\/div>\n
Which is the salient<\/span> \u2013
\n contender<\/span>, challenger<\/span>, old champion?\n <\/div>\n
Y<\/span>ou might say that there
\n ar<\/span>e 100+ contenders?\n <\/div>\n
And that they are too numer<\/span>ous to count?\n <\/div>\n
OK, but which is the salient contender? <\/span>\n <\/div>\n
No salient contender?<\/div>\n
That is the point.<\/div>\n
While Summa makes numerous assertions, they all
\n dovetail\n <\/div>\n
nicely into the Potential framework \u2013 its unifying
\n \u2018spinal\n <\/div>\n
column\u2019 \u2013 and the overall construct is
\n philosophically\n <\/div>\n
elegant.<\/div>\n
It is not clear which other metaphysics challenges
\n it.\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
