Forms |
est, esse, ens, datur, dari, |
Meaning |
Have the status of being (as opposed to not
being, non existent).
Also called the
formal or
actual status of existing or being. From the viewpoint of eternity,
sub specie
aeternitate, all
things "are" in God =
natura-sense 2 =
substance, the non-existing
things included. Existence is seen from another
viewpoint, the temporary viewpoint of
duration,
that is: the analysis involving the
creation (coming into being) and destruction
(ceasing to be) of things. "Ens", a thing being. |

{2p10 hominis substanti formam}
... man's being and the being
of substance are different forms of being
(duration versus
absolute infinity and
eternality) ... |
... The status of being of the substance does not appertain to the essence of
man-in other words, substance does not constitute the actual being of man. |
... Ad
essentiam hominis non
pertinet
esse
substantiae
sive
[mng eqv]
substantia
formam hominis non constituit. |
... The being of substance involves necessary existence ... If, therefore, the being of substance appertains to the
essence of man, substance being granted, man would necessarily be
granted also ... and, consequently, man would necessarily
exist, which is absurd ... |
... Esse enim
substantiae
involvit
necessariam
existentiam ... Si igitur ad hominis

pertineret esse
substantiae, data ergo
substantia, daretur
