Sentences with phrase «metaphysically is a civilized»

Not exact matches

It is fitting then that the final issue to be resolved regarding the status of a civilized society should concern the question of the creativity of one and many, e.g., is a civilized society a «one» or a «many» metaphysically?

Since each of the constituent human beings of a civilized society is itself more ultimate metaphysically than is the larger social whole, it follows that a civilized society is really only a relational unity composed of many individuals related as one socially.

Accordingly, the «order» of a civilized society is «genetically propagated» in terms of commonly accepted and habitually enacted social practices which are passed on from generation to generation, and thus in the most general terms a civilized society is metaphysically constituted as a «social nexus» in a fashion equivalent to that of a Society per se.

In a number of essential ways then, a civilized society is metaphysically equivalent to a Society per se, and thus its status as an existent thing is explicable in terms of Whitehead's organic cosmological scheme.

Thus, according to the cosmological scheme as laid out by Whitehead in the Philosophy of Organism, a civilized society is metaphysically equivalent to a Society per se in the most basic and essential respects, and therein its generic status as an existent thing is secured.

That is, just as a Society is metaphysically a derivative type of existent inasmuch as its constituent actual entities are ontologically ultimate, so in an equivalent fashion, a civilized society is metaphysically secondary inasmuch as human beings are more real, ontologically speaking, than is the larger civilized society.

But even as derivative types of existents, a civilized society and a Society per se are nonetheless both real in this secondary or dependent sense, and thus metaphysically speaking, they both must belong to some «category of existence other than that reserved for a primary existent.
