does essence precede existence or vice versa?
If we define essence as "what characterizes each 'truth' as 'truth'", and "existence" as the kind of Being particular to Dasein, then "the essence of Dasein lies in its existence".
In other words, Sartre was a fucking fraud, he copped it all from Husserl and Heidegger.

I'm more into the Buddhist cosmology take, that there is no independent origination and every one thing is moved by another thing, making it impossible to narrow down the one element that created it all. There is no central cause, only the cause-effect relationship spiraling outward into infinity. Every cause is an effect and every effect is a cause.
The org is moved by its operations, and the operations are moved by the org. If a member is made in a forest and no third party exists who can introduce him, is he really made? Gautama Buddha asked that same question and it remains an unanswerable Zen koan. What's the sound of one hand pricking its own finger?

Replace forest with desert and you have Frank Cullotta claiming that he was "made" in Vegas.
