Summary
Part 3 Metaphysics Chapter 16 The Act of Being and the Essence Section b. Predicamental and Transcendental Participation This section begins with the two ways of participation: i) as something belonging to the substance of the participant (predicamental) ii) as something not entering into the essence of the participant: this is the participation in esse. (transcendental) and moves to showing the real composition in the core argument: i) that any creature is a being by participation: it only has being, it is not being ii) Therefore every creature has a division in itself between what participates and what is participated in the order of esse. This follows in a discussion of St Thomas's work synthesizing and building upon the Greek philosophers, Plato and Aristotle, to come to the aforementioned conclusions.
