Textausschnitt: 5 The Distinct Subsistent or Real Supposit

15 Distinct: Created Things – Trinity (eü)

51/1 15 Things are distinct when one is not the other.

Among created things, a subsistent is by that very fact a distinct subsistent. (35; Fs)

In God, however, there is a notional distinction between God and the Father, between God and the Son, and between God and the Spirit. The Father, the Son, and the Spirit are distinct subsistents; but God, as notionally distinct from the persons, is in some way an indistinct subsistent. (35; Fs)

52/1 A supposit is understood in two ways: first, as a real supposit, this existing human being, for example; and secondly, as a merely hypothetical supposit which - prescinds from truth and falsity, and therefore from existence and non-existence. (35; Fs)

A real supposit is a distinct subsistent. (37; Fs)

A hypothetical supposit is one that comes in between concrete universal concepts and abstract universal concepts, such as, for example, between 'man' and 'humanity,' or between 'centaur' and 'centaurity.'1 (37; Fs)
