Paradoxically, metaphoric Being is part of our metaphysics: it comes from how we’re gripped, onto-theologically. – It’s an attempt to speak quasi-universally while undermining this; in its trace of universality, it reveals a ghostal lineage with the One.

The view from nowhere, the ‘position’ of the One, is utopic and reveals specific desires. These desires manifest our understanding of self, world, things, and social being: for example, the last is taken as the masses or the people, entities formed by shearing particularity.

A change in onto-theology implies changes to self, world, things, and social being.
