 Although being is not equivocally predicated relative to substance and accident, it is not predicated completely univocally either (Ebbesen 2001: 477). In fact, Brito develops his own account of the analogy of being, according to which being is predicated of substances and accidents with respect to a single concept, but under different modalities (Donati 2013: 338). For him, the predication of being has reality in the ontological structure of things, specifically in metaphysical constituents called presentations (apparens) or modes of being (modus essendi). A thing’s presentations or modes of being are properties of the thing that manifest themselves in its perceivable operations (Donati 2013: 344; Ebbesen 2001: 479). These presentations explain both the common attribution and the different ways in which being is attributed to substance and accident, without having to appeal to a multiplicity of forms. The common predication of being to substance and accident is supported by a common mode of being: their esse formaliter—the principle of being that formally exists in both of them (Donati 2013: 345). The different modalities of predication, in turn, are taken from the substance’s capacity to exist in its own right and by the accident’s dependence on the substance for its existence, which are modes of being of the substance and of the accident, respectively.
