    Key Terms

    Conditions of possibility(what new creation is said to eliminate)
    The basic circumstances or requirements that must exist in order for something else to happen or be true; for example, oxygen is a condition of possibility for fire.
    Empirical instances(contrasted with underlying conditions)
    Specific, observable examples or cases of something that you can actually see or experience in the real world; for example, a particular act of cruelty is an empirical instance of suffering.
    Eschatological(describing the category or framework of final judgment)
    Related to the end of the world or the final judgment day when God will judge all souls and determine their eternal fate.
    Moltmann(the philosopher being referenced)
    Jürgen Moltmann is a 20th-century German theologian who argued that Christian faith should focus on hope for the future and God's promise to transform the world, rather than just accepting the world as it is now.

    Ontology(Carnap argues this enterprise is based on a mistake)
    The philosophical discipline that tries to answer hard questions about what there really is.
