Description
This systematic ontology explores the most fundamental ways of being something or other. It examines what things are and how they relate to each other, rather than focusing on causes.
The work distinguishes between two types of existence: what is, which includes everything that exists, and what is in itself, which is a more specific concept. The book delves into the nature of being, including actuality, intentional objects, relations, properties, thisness, and identity.
