Aristotle's expression is intended to direct investigation to the question of the possibility of securing for philosophy the status of an autonomous science. Attempts at the absolute self-justification of philosophy have been charged by antinomies, which suggest that a topical justification might be more appropriate. Such an approach allows a deeper insight in the problems of perception of reality as a whole, with which early forms of spirit, especially myth and religion, were confronted. It is, above all, about the possibility to perceive all things in their concrete determination. Being means: coming forth as something determinate. Opposed to metaphysical concepts of being, its categorial conception is applied here - categorial in the sense of a search for rules to which a particular adaptation of entities must be adequate in order that being and knowability may be ascribed to them. There is a tradition, going back at least to the late-Plato, which may be drawn upon when we basethe question of being on dialectics.
