The indistinct absolute

pp. 182-199

The totality of empirical reality — empirical reality for short — consists of the world, the soul, and the discovered transcendent ground of their being. In this chapter, I argue that the being of the ground of the world and the soul is itself contingent because empirical reality might have failed to be. Because it is contingent, there has to be an ultimate ground of the ground of the being of empirical reality — the Absolute — which freely decides to set the totality of empirical reality into being.
