The Dilemma of Essence and Existence

In the 12th and 13th centuries, debates raged over how essence should be applied to creative things. Avasena agrees with Asherites that there are no non-existing things; every contingent essence gets existence somehow. Sohravadi rejects Avasena's distinction while Vahradin Arazi defends it. The cast of characters in this story includes several figures familiar from the last few episodes.
