Summary:This work is 'a systematic ontology'. Ontology is the study of being as such, and a systematic ontology is an account of the most fundamental ways of being something or other - of what they are and of how they are related to each other. The questions it pursues are not primarily about what causes things, but about what things are or consist in - though causal questions cannot be totally avoided. The title of the book marks the most important distinction in ways of being. What is includes everything there is, but not everything there is included in what is in itself
