Part 3 Metaphysics

Chapter 12 The Starting Point of the Metaphysical Road

Section a. Being, To Be, Essence, Existence

This section elaborates and clarifies the term 'being' in English. Obviously not a very precise term in the English, with multiple meanings and considerable ambiguity, the author clarifies this terms meaning through the use of the more precise language of Latin. This discussion covers how our mind perceives reality in both the transient and the stable, a further elaboration of the term essence, existence and lastly the two fold terms for being in Latin: ens and esse, which in future will be used in their Latin to replace the term being or to be, in order to be more precise in our language in future discourse.
