(October 29, 2019 at 7:28 am)Belacqua Wrote: "Being" in this case means the extent to which a thing has actualized its potential. So it doesn't mean just that something exists. A hairless sick badger does in fact exist. But it has less being -- in Thomas's meaning of the term -- than a badger which is in accord with the outcome its DNA was aiming for.

Ok, this might have been why I got confused. Perhaps I forgot about how Feser defined "being" in previous sections.
