The idea of being

a platonic speculation

Edward Ballard

pp. 13-27

Today being is hardly à la mode among professional philosophers. Yet, and with a scarcely concealed contempt for fashion, some recent thinkers have turned their attention directly upon this topic. Unfortunately, though, contempt for current intellectual fashions does not always generate lucidity either of concept or of expression; hence, many of us are as much in the dark as ever concerning the nature of being. One more attempt to express this nature will not necessarily be amiss.
