The understanding of ontology that is elaborated in this essay is one that sees ontology as the linguistically conditioned account of what is and of what existence is, an account which becomes, coordinately and equally, onto-theology and onto-anthropology, in which latter, the nature of person is adumbrated as transcendence towards Beings as value and value of Being. Notions examined include language, entity, contingency, temporality, Divinity, and the transcendentals.
