Comments on James DeFrancisco’s Essay "Original Sin and Ancestral Sin‪"‬

James J. DeFrancisco, Ph.D., writes at the request of a colleague. His article is posted online at semantic scholar and academia. The date of publication is not mentioned. My guess is around 2008.
The essay compares Augustine’s Original Sin to the Eastern Church’s, Ancestral Sin. Even though original sin gets top billing, the Eastern Church’s is a comparative winner.
However, the topic is not a contest to see who is best.
There is a real question here, one that speaks to the first singularity, as dramatically portrayed in An Archaeology of the Fall.
All the issues that DeFrancisco raises may be revisited in the light of a scientific proposal, addressing why our current Lebenswelt is not the Lebenswelt that we evolved in.
Yet, in this essay, the debate revolves around the nature of the human person, civilized and fallen. In this, the category-based nested form assists.
