A THING

Is this a thing?

What kind of thing?

It’s not that kind of thing.

It becomes a thing.

Some kind of thing,

that’s not that kind of thing.

It’s a thing as it is “in itself”

and the object as it is “for” a subject.

Its existence precedes its essence.

A contingent thing that could cease to be a thing.

A kind of thing that’s not that kind of thing that becomes some kind of thing and ceases to be a thing.
