Download or read book The Consolation of Ontology written by Egon Bondy and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2001 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He challenges the idea of ontological substance and demonstrates how the subsequent teleology of a "higher" level of being establishes a pattern of privilege and subordination in human relationships. In contrast, the nonsubstantial alternative - prefigured by the thinking cultures which developed independently of Greece - the author argues, is simpler, more logically consistent and removes all limits to freedom and creativity.
