Metaphysical Analysis of Being and Change

The chapter explores the metaphysical analysis of being and change as discussed by Aristotle and embraced by St. Thomas, focusing on principles of analogical division, motion from potency to act, and the metaphysics of God rooted in proportionate being. It highlights the significance of the principle of non-contradiction in affirming objectivity and reconciling concepts like monism and manyness. The discussion covers the analogical likeness between beings, emphasizing the transcendental nature of being and the infinite transcendence of God over finite creatures.
