Book excerpt: He challenges the idea of ontological substance and demonstrates how the subsequent teleology of a "higher" level of being establishes a pattern of privilege and subordination in human relationships. In contrast, the nonsubstantial alternative - prefigured by the thinking cultures which developed independently of Greece - the author argues, is simpler, more logically consistent and removes all limits to freedom and creativity.
