The Third Category Between Being and Not Being

Palmendi's whole system requires that we have so-called a current thoughts that come into being. His poem is in a state of permanent self-contradiction. He says what is not is not and cannot be a genuine object of thought. Yet he spends most of his poem actually stating what is not the case. So they should not be thinkable. And of course he describes many aspects of the universe in a rather negative way, saying it is unchanging. It is ungenerated. It is imperishable.
