aseity
I love to read, so I am always delighted when I can learn a new word. I was reading a post on Doug Wilson's blog critiquing Richard Dawkins new book "The God Delusion" and I came across the word aseity.
Not being a philosophy major I have never encountered that word before. It's a good word. It's slight - doesn't waste a lot of syllables - kinda gets right to the point.
aseity - what does it mean? Click HERE to read the definitions on the google search I ran but basically its a philosphy term to describe the fact that God is self derived and not derivative.
He exsists on his own with out having been created.
See you just learned something too....Right?

Indeed I have learned something new - thank you for this important insight.
ReplyDeletePhilosophy of Mind - my focus on, and yet the word "aseity" - escaped me - until now.
Since my novice state of "blogging" or some might say "journaling" - I have learnt so much more - which only proves that we continue to learn throughout our lives.
Blessings to you and your multi-talented family - you can be so very proud of their achievements.
