When first thou gav'st the promise of a man,

2. An independent ens ; a thing ; a substance ; 
an ontological chimera. As a concrete noun, it is 
chii'tly used to express the current notion of the mode of 
being attributed by scholastic metaphysicians to general 
natures and to formalities. Modern writers have generally 
said the schoolmen made entities of words, a judgment 
which seems to espouse the nominalistlc side of the great 
dispute, although the writers who use this phrase are not 
decided nominalists. Such being the connection which by 
its associations gives the word entity its meaning, the lat- 
ter is necessarily vague. 
The schools have of late much amused the world with 
a way they have got of referring all natural effects to cer- 
tain entities that they call real qualities, and accordingly 
attribute to them a nature distinct from the modification 
of the matter they belong to, and In some cases separable 
from all matter whatsoever. . . . Aristotle usually calls 
substances simply ovra, entities. 
Boyle, Origin of Forms (Works, 3d ed., III. 12, 16). 
The realists maintained that general names are the 
names of general things. Besides individual things, they 
recognised another kind of things, not individual, which 
they technically called second substances, or universals 
a parte rei. Over and above all individual men and wo- 
men there was an entity called Man Man in general, 
which inhered in the individual men and women, and 
communicated to them its essence. 
J. S. Mill, Exam, of Hamilton, xvil. 
The scientific acceptance of laws and properties is quite 
as metaphysical as the scholastic acceptance of entitle* and 
quiddities; but the justification of tile one set is their ob- 
jective validity, I. e. their agreement with sensible experi- 
ence ; the illusoriness of the other is their incapability of 
being resolved into sensible concretes.

tity, the mode of existence of a singular thing in a defi-
