This book explores the nature of categories as fundamental features of reality, focusing on Thomas Aquinas's method of identifying them through predicates and subjects. It critiques Duns Scotus's rejection of Aquinas, arguing for the possibility of real distinctions in predication. The discussion informs E. J. Lowe's contemporary four-category ontology.
