Subject: BHA: Re: Dick's post on essence and actuality


Hi Dick,

I agree with what you've said here.  I said the same thing a few posts back.  I'm not sure what the confusion is.  "Essence must appear" seems to me to be pretty straight-forwardly at odds with the idea that there are many essences that do not, as it happens, "appear" (by which I mean either or both "become actual" and "be objects of perception").  Am I missing something?

r.

>It is one thing to say that there are essences which ultimately account for all that occurs, quite another to say that every possible essence must ultimately "appear."  Isn't this equvalent to saying that all possible worlds (universes, pluriverses) will ultimately be actual?
