Non-Being and Nothingness - Paperback

by Tim A. Snavely (Author)

Between Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy, Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, Heidegger's Being and Time, and Sartre's Being and Nothingness, they left us Nothing else to be desired concerning the field of ontology. The metaphysical inquiry into the fundamental nature of being and existence has been several centuries in the making, with no major negations made towards "I think, therefore I am," "a priori concepts," and "Being-in-itself" that didn't sound like complete nonsense. Their reasoning was sound, and these forms of knowledge have been nearly universally accepted by those with the intellect and patience to endure the intricacies behind such works.

But then this Snavely guy emerged onto the scene, and used his skills as a "Master Negator" to obliterate Everything to the point of Non-Being with sophistries that somehow made more sense than these philosophical giants. Couldn't "thinking" just be a retroactive phenomenon attributed to energy in action, implying that no thought was ever had to begin with? Wouldn't the removal of the senses used to justify pure reason classify pure reason under the category of Non-sense? And if Being is in-itself, wouldn't that mean that there are 2 Beings? These questions, and more, are answered within the confines of this relatively short absurd book, primarily with the novel idea of a Quantum Vacuum Bit of energy in a stationary superposition being a probable source of being for Everything-in-the-world-alongside-us-in-human-reality.
