ontological

And to do this job right — hell, to even get beyond our own trembling ontological frailty long enough to learn something about this existence — we have to fight anti-science attitudes in every quarter, even our own.

I think that’s important, as an ontological model of cinema.

Without diving into some kind of ontological rumination, I think we can agree that this isn’t really about “existence.”

This ontological shock would be different from mere discovery or invention; it’s not even synonymous with what the philosopher Thomas Kuhn called a “paradigm shift,” when scientific consensus is amended by some revolutionary new theory.

In other words, we’d experience ontological shock.
