Peter Kreeft Quote
Heidegger says that the fundamental question of metaphysics is why is there anything at all rather than nothing? The fundamental question is not, as Plato thought, what a thing is (every Platonic dialogue is about that, about an essence, a definition, a concept, such as justice or piety or learning) but why it exists, why anything exists. Plato never asked that ultimate question. And the answer is God.
