{"product_id":"9781449083571","title":"What's Next?: A Compilation Giving a Broad-brush Overview of Æviternity, the Existence-Continuum","description":"This presentation is intended to be a quick read, aided by graphics, on the subject of the existence continuum for those who do not have the time to “plow” the Summa and other subject-related sources. Also, it is beyond the scope of this writing to include  “a priori” or “a posteriori” demonstrations for what is presented. (For “in-depth” reading, see included endnotes). Let two terms be understood in full:  (1) “Life” is to be understood as the quality that distinguishes vital and functional being from a dead body. (2) “Existence” is to continue to be; the state of fact of having being, especially, independent of human consciousness and as contrasted with nonexistence. Finally, what is “æviternity”? According to an accepted source, it is defined thus: “…æviternity differs from time, and eternity, as the mean between them both. This difference is explained by some to consist in the fact that eternity has neither beginning nor end, æviternity, a beginning but no end, and time both beginning and end.","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154695897328,"sku":"9781449083571","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781449083571_p0.jpg?v=1763830632","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781449083571","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
