The connection between the conception of hierarchy in the

S Radhakrishnan, however, adds that «The rishis
are not so much the authors of the truths recorded in the Vedas as the seers who

In order to interpret this core - principle of revelation, we must understand its essential presupposition; namely, that events
are present «in» other events - present not just abstractly (through «
eternal objects»), i.e., mediated by the «general,» but as singular events that effect their further history by their unique concreteness (PR 338).12 Whitehead recognizes precisely this constellation when he says:» [T] he truism that we can only conceive in terms of
universals has
been stretched to mean that we can only feel in terms of
universals.
Moreover, since potentials
are repeated within actualities, it follows that if
being present in a subject, or actuality,

being a
universal, then again actual entities and
eternal objects

universals.
But if my interpretation

universals, or, in Whitehead's terms,
are alike potentials.
This
is one reason (it
is not the only one) why Whitehead refuses to identify «
universal» with «

universal»
is unfortunate in its application to
eternal objects; for it seems to deny, and in fact it
was meant to deny, that actual entities also fall within the scope of the principle of relativity.
They have recognized also that actual entities and
eternal objects
are the closest analogues, in Whitehead's metaphysics, to particulars and
universals, respectively (PR 76).
Instants and time - intervals

Von Balthasar's theology of the cross
is complex, but suffice it to say that from the cross we learn that God really
is love — a love that
is eternal (the son
is an
eternal offering to the Father) and
universal (it
was poured out «once for all»).
Because
S and T
are interrelated through the mediation of a
universal — an entity that
is not real, individual, and particular — the interrelatedness of
S, T, and the
eternal object does not constitute an entity that
is real, individual, and particular.
More generally, an event
is «a nexus of actual occasions» (Process 73).4 Just as he used his technical term «

The subjective form in a particular actual entity, he tells us, unlike the abstract

be torn apart from its particular subject without becoming a mere
universal (PR 354, 356).
It
is assumed that the soul by its nature

Universal Soul.
But it
is just in the concrete that we meet the
Eternal Thou, and it
is this which prevents dialogue from degenerating into «responsibility» to an abstract moral code or
universal idea.
Put differently, the expression «intermediate
universal» signals an approach to propositions from the «top down» and not from the «bottom up,» that
is, from the perspective of actual entities or actual occasions invested with indeterminacy.1 Nonetheless, such a qualification marks a pointed move towards a distinction between propositions and
eternal objects.
Since both propositions and
eternal objects
are potentialities for realization in the sphere of actuality, a proposition does exhibit a certain type of
universal relevance akin to
eternal objects.

universals» or «qualities» that, based on the examples he cites, functioned somewhat like Whiteheadian «
eternal objects»: that

are to
be conceived as a particular togetherness of these qualia at a given locus in spacetime.22
9 Although the most abstract metaphysical categories (like «becoming»)

are themselves guided by what he believes
are the
universal and
eternal principles of Darwinian evolutionary theory Wilson never acknowledges that, by relying on that theory and by generalizing it, he subscribes to principles that transcend particular histories just as surely as do the ideas of the theological and philosophical transcendentalists.
As a thinking
being, it
is possible for me to suppress and quell in my consciousness every movement of self - assertion, every notion and opinion that
is merely mine, every desire that belongs to me as this particular Self, and to become the pure medium of a thought that
is universal — in one word, to live no more my own life, but let my consciousness
be possessed and suffused by the Infinite and
Eternal life of spirit.
(It
is man, influenced by other men, who twisted things around to mean what they do now; it
is man, influenced by other men, who inspired the change from accepting
Universal Restoration / Reconciliation as truth to accepting
Eternal Torment or Permanent Annihilation as truth instead.)
The Law of Polarity dictates that not just one but both components of pairs of ultimate contraries should
be affirmed as true because they

universal, active and passive,
eternal and temporal, cause and effect, creative and created, et cetera.

are widely recognized as
universals, and creativity Whitehead explicitly termed «the

is the third formative element and must
be immanent within each occasion.
It
is a great mistake to reject all Platonic theories of
universals, such as Whitehead's regarding
eternal objects (not that Whitehead's particular account
is necessarily satisfactory).
The «hereness» of a real fact
is more than the mere combination of characteristics, of
eternal objects; and yet this «more» this «particularity» of a real fact can not
be characterized conceptually since that would reduce it to one more
universal or
eternal object.
Thus on this account, though the realm of possibilities
is eternal, the delineation of possibilities (
universals) depends on the occurrence of actualities.

Martin weighs the merits of his «all truths
are timeless,» or can
be so formulated without loss of truth, against what he takes to
be my view (for no reason in my writings that I can see) that all
are time - bound; he ignores the moderate or less extreme view that some (namely, truths about extremely
universal and abstract,
eternal and necessary things, including the essential structure of time as such)
are timeless, and others (those about less
universal and abstract, also non-
eternal and contingent things)
are time - bound, but this not in every way a careless thinker might suppose but in a definite and logically intelligible way.

is only one
eternal and
universal religion standing above, beneath, and beyond all religions to which they all belong or can belong.»
