 The second topic (DM II–XI) treats transcendental terms, including being (ens), but also good (bonum) and true (veritas), which are transcendental in the sense that they may be predicated of beings in any category (a quality is a being, an ens, just as a substance is an ens, and so on for every category of being). Every being is, as such, according to Suárez, one; hence being one is predicated across the full range of categories as well. So, too, but less obviously and more controversially, according to Suárez, every single being is something true, in some suitably ontological sense of true (as in “true propositions are simply facts”) and also something good. So, these terms require dedicated treatment at the hands of the metaphysician.
