“Linguistically, subjects are described by predicates. As such, if we were to look at a subject without any predicates whatsoever, it would be indescribable. It is a categorical mistake to try and describe a subject without using predicates: we cannot describe subjects with subjects. The statement “Jack is Jill” does not predicate Jill or Jack. If anything, it identifies the two.”

“Thus, for example, mental or moral properties might be thought to transcend various parts of Nature – such as space or time – but would nevertheless remain parts of Nature themselves because they only obtain or subsist in relation to yet other parts of Nature, such as embodied minds or actions.”

“The Gist: Each God is both the subject of whom the other Gods are predicated and a predicate for whom another God is the subject. Qua subject, the God is incommunicable and functions as a ‘who’. But, qua predicate, she is communicable and functions as a ‘what’. The introduction here of ‘what’ represents the most general layer of Nature.”
