We may gain a small sense of the heights to which NT reached when, with awe in our hearts and wonder in our minds, we read: Jones has a transcendental, entitative theoory .
But this extended something does not have objective external, entitative existence (la wujuda lahu fi al-a'yan); what exists objectively is only a part of this extended-something at any given present moment of the motion, because both the past and future moments of the motion are non-existents with respect to the present moment of motion.
The author claims that faith "in and of itself has no entitative existence," that is, it is not a habit; it consists solely of "a certain set of behaviours" (21).
