Ontology is concerned, not with beings, but with that which we mean whenever we
say of anything that it “is,” or with that by virtue of which beings are, or
with that through partaking of which beings are and are said to be; this–esse
as distinguished from entia–as the ground of all beings is not being but
beyond being and beingness.
— Leo Strauss, What is Political Philosophy, P. 147
