Abstract
Glenn’s Ontology is a Scholastic text that serves as an introduction to the philosophical study of „being as being.“ The work focuses on the most fundamental concepts of reality, such as essence, existence, substance, accident, cause, and potency, from an Aristotelian-Thomistic perspective. It aims to establish the foundational principles of metaphysics that underlie all further philosophical inquiry into the physical world (Cosmology) and moral action (Ethics)
