Or, what is substance metaphysics?
I was reviewing some notes from McCormack's (ed) Karl Barth and American Evangelicalism. Horton rebuts McCormack’s reading of Barth’s objection to “substance” and “essence.” McCormack thinks substantialism implies a “something” behind the entity. When applied to God, this raises the question: so which God is the real God for us? Horton says, by contrast, that a substance is simply thing that can be predicated of (128n72). I think both are correct. Is this an accurate reading of substance metaphysics?
