But it is a fact that many opponents of the "unmoved mover" think that it is only about efficient cause, as opposed to that One universal principle that does not change despite the changes within and among the plurality of things. This, as opposed to the case of Esquilax that its utility depends on finding some thing among other things, like the Great Pumpkin. Instead what it does do which is confirm the One.

What I have placed in bold signifies little more than a vague abstraction which neither of us can really relate to anything that can be said to exist in actuality. To proceed from there is the common mistake of most Idealists. Construct a house on such an insecure foundation, no doubt an ill-designed plan, and the end result is sure to contain numerous subsequent flaws.
