Boethius?..

[AcceleratorPlus]

An interesting trend in thinking.. leading towards an enevitable conclusion that even absolute NOTHINGNES.. is still something.. because logicallty.. it contains potential.. which acts as a SOURCE. A Primary Field of potential energy.

Consciousnes is potential (NOTHINGNESS) while we are in a dreamless sleep.. consciousness switches between dormant and active states.. rest and motion.

Absolute nothingness is dormant enegy.. in a state of paradox. It both moves and exists.. but it doesn't.

That's a lovely little bow tie

[Theftz22]

St Augustine and no ontological, Aquinas and no quinque viae??

[Theftz22]

wtf, they did st. augustine and didn't include the ontological argument?

[Abaraxas89]

geez they skipped over quite a bit...no neoplatonism?

[Funkisbunk]

@Abaraxas89 He referred to Plotinus for just a moment. Neo-Platonism is often forgotten as the important bridge between christianity and Plato.
