Abstract

In this paper author analyses Petrić’s notion of being as an example of the classical metaphysical approach to the constitution of the onto-logical hierarchy. The main characteristic of this hierarchy is the priority of Oneness and One over essence and being, and also the priority of essence and being over life. The world is per se decayable, but it doesn’t decay because of the principle (the One as One) that it exists through and that it depends upon. All that which exists exists through being alone and is the act of being. In this context, Petrić’s notion of the being of One and the being of principles are to be examined too.
