Subject: Study Break for Michael


Dear Michael:

Study Break:

Ontological  is an adjective  relating to ontology [noun] which is the study 
of the nature of 'being' and 'existence'  [neither of which I believe in of 
course accepting only the verb 'exist' in its continuous verb form: existing, 
and the BE-word [ in this connection] only in its third person continuous 
tense.]  Therefore I [like most other people] use the word adjectivally to describe 
something in the way it exists or is existing or is claimed to exist or is 
claimed to be existing   by others.
Thus and finally therefore to describe the ontological  'way'  or modality, 
or manner in which some entity exists [say the variant particle/wave forms of 
an electron] is to employ the word 'ontological' in an adjectival sense.


Hope this helps? If you wanna know anything else let me know.

Did you know that there are plenty of good dictionaries [apart from 
Anti-Heidegger scribblers] on the Internet?

Cheers,

Jud.
