DESCRIPTION:<p>The fundamental task of ontology is to understand being. But what would an understanding of being consist in? What is the cognitive achievement of understanding being? I provisionally assume that being and existence are the same\, that everything that there is has&nbsp\;being&nbsp\;or exists\, and that to be or to exist is just to be identical with something.&nbsp\;In previous work\, I focused on the questions of whether there are different modes of being and whether being comes in degrees. I implicitly assumed that to understand being is to know the answers to questions like these. Here\, I rethink these questions in light of a different account of what modes of being are\, an account that explicates them in terms of a non-modal conception of essence.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>LINK:&nbsp\;https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87649813438&nbsp\;</p>
