ABSTRACT

This paper starts from an information concerning a philosophical vocabulary (“Wortschatz”) as a sort of “laboratory” or “observatory” of scholars. Then the problem of physics and esse is discussed. It is declared that of the two aspects of being: esse et essentia – esse showed up in physics via the quantum mechanics. A connection between notions of physics and universals is suggested. The hylomorphic theory is discussed with stressing the role of the laws of physics. Finally the problem of Truth is discussed and a connection with what IS is being made.
