CHAPTER

Contingent or Dependent?

i like how you distinguish between contingent and dependent. The way that i like to frame contingent is in terms of, like, this thing can fail to exist.

If we threw a chair in a furnace, then it would be eaten up, destroyed or turned to ash. So that chair is contingent. It didn't have to be there.
