Being: A Contemporary Analysis

by Steven Merle Duncan

Overview

There is no more central notion, whether in philosophy or out of it, than the notion of being. There is no more important philosophical idea than that of being and no more fundamental science than the science of being qua being, metaphysics or the philosophy of being. Philosophy must begin from an investigation of being if it is to have any hope of understanding the true nature of things. This book will show you why, and how to understand the nature of being.
