Difference between revisions of "Existence"

Existence is a fundamental attribute/property of [[Reality]] and the [[Primary Source|Source]] of the Reality, the fundamental [[Entities|entity]]. It represents the [[Evolutionary Ontology|ontological aspect]] of Reality. Existence is the product of the sub process of [[Creation]], where the incessant inner interaction between of its two aspects, the [[Fundamental Force]] (the [[Agents / Forces|Agent]]) and the [[Elementary Field]] (the [[Acted / Fields|Acted]]), produces the [[Elementary Events]], the [[Elementary Action]], the most elementary form of Existence. Existence express itself in the [[Causality|causal]], [[Spatiality|spatial]] and [[Temporality|temporal]] [[Dimensions of Reality|dimensions]], and is strictly related to the basic concepts of emergence and reification (what exists is real and belongs to the Universal [[Reality]], and, symmetrically, what is real exists, both in the physical and cognitive sense).

Existence is the ability of an entity to interact with physical or mental reality. In philosophy, it refers to the ontological property of being. The word "existence" comes from the Latin word exsistere meaning "to appear", "to arise", "to become", or "to be", but literally, it means "to stand out" (ex- being the Latin prefix for "out" added to the causative of the verb stare, meaning "to stand"). In a technical sense, this refers to standing out of both being and becoming, thus having the qualities of both. Existence is an ontological argument par excellence and relates to that of being but in the alternative, as its contingent way of manifesting itself and of flowing. It therefore also concerns the dimension of becoming. "Existence" means etymologically to be from, because it derives from the Latin compound ēx + sistentia, which means having the being from another, external to itself. In fact existence does not have its own being, but exists only in so far as it is subordinated to a higher being. This is why the words existence and being have been treated quite differently throughout the history of Western philosophy.{{WpLink}}
