Are there nonexistent things? What is the nature of informative
identity statements? Are the notions of essential property and of
essence intelligible, and, if so, how are they to be understood?
Are individual things material substances or clusters of qualities?
Can the account of the unity of a complex entity avoid vicious
infinite regresses?
These questions have attracted widespread attention among
philosophers recently, as evidenced by a proliferation of articles
in the leading philosophical journals. In Being Qua Being they
receive systematic, unified treatment, grounded in an account of
the nature of the application to the world of our conceptual
apparatus. A central thesis of the book is that the topic of
identity is primary, and that existence and predication, both
essential and accidental, are to be understood in terms of
identity.
