Abstract

1. The relationship established between God and possibility on the one hand and the aspect of realization on the other is, in a way, an explication of the Aristotelian position. Though Professor Weiss does not proceed along strict Aristotelian lines--in view of the fact that he does not put forth the doctrine that realization has to precede possibility--he still holds an Aristotelian view in the sense that for him possibility has no self-sufficient, independent ontological status, but must find its supplement and complement in reality--in this context, in God.
