The god of philosophy is the personification of the affirmative qualities of man in which the partial conditions of are extended to their affirmative maxims.
Mortality may be said to be the conditional of an entity that is not dead, but may die. The maxim of the affirmative would be an entity which is not dead and cannot die. Also know as immortal. The maxim of the negative would be an entity which is dead and may never be alive.
Conscience may be said the condition of limited sentience. The maxim of the affirmative would be a condition of unlimited sentience or omniscience,. The maxim of the negative would be the lack of sentience.
Presence is the limited existence of an entity. The maxim of the affirmative is the unlimited existence of an entity or omnipresence. The maxim of the negative would be an entity would be the lack of presence.
And so it goes where mutability becomes immutability, potency becomes omnipotence, accident becomes essence, and particular becomes universal.
It may be argued that anything which does exist has maxim logical affirmative and negative existence to it. Which is to say there is a spectrum of existence. Particular imperfect things lie along that spectrum, but do not occupy either end points of the spectrum.
