Top Highlights

“the old debate between the Alexandrian and Antiochene schools” (Page 353)

“these questions strive to grasp the absolute in its particular instantiation—its In-sein—within the creaturely” (Page 158)

“the consistent a posteriori metaphysician mounts upward to the limit idea of the ‘all in existence.’” (Page 156)

“‘in him we live and move and have our being.’ ’^{303” (Page 110)}

“But then, when the relation between God and creature is thus clarified, everything positive that remains of the extreme forms of purely a priori and purely a posteriori metaphysics will still be included within this relation. For the question concerning God and the creature is, as we have seen, the final consequence of the question concerning the ground, end, and definition, in that this latter is addressed to the ‘in between’ set between the a priori and the a posteriori, whether of the object or of the act.” (Page 157)
