SECOND LATIN
is, is an ens. Existence is not requisite for something to be an ens.
Whatever can be the object of thought is an ens. Thus a mile-high tree
is an ens (possible) ; but a square circle is not an ens.
2. Formalis. An object of thought or study may be twofold: as the
thing is in itself and as it is from a special point of view. As the former
it is the objectum materiale; as the latter it is the objectum formale.
The objectum materiale of chemistry is matter; the objectum formale
is likewise matter, but considered as consisting of ultimate elements
and their mutual relations.
