judspakethusly:
I am just about to post my introduction to a longish piece on ousia, which
will have an account of its historical background, an overview, some
comparisons with other tongues and a bit about the chronology and
significance of the scholastic exist-word, which came later and saved the
metaphysical bacon.

Apart from 'a book written by Aristotle' (convention) or a subdiscipline or
field of philosophy (another mere convention), what, Jud, do you
[underlined] understand by 'metaphysics' or the 'metaphysical'? And without
using the cognates of "transcendentalism" or gratuitously mentioning "Nazi",
"religionist", "cult", or any other scabrously [sic] insulting and redundant
(to a philosophical dsicussion) asides and adjectives, if you please. Try?

cheers
