Summary/Abstract: The basic fundamental ontological notions „Being“ , „being“ and „a being“ compose a triple ontological difference. By unfolding the dual (being and a being) ontological difference, one more term (Being) must be also unfolded. By using Thomistic philosophy, it becomes clear, that the notion of „Being” must be perceived as God. The notion of „being” in this work is understand as a transcendental. By referring to Kant’s understanding of the transcendentals, and Heidegger’s analysis of the meaning of being (Sein), I approach the thesis that being (Sein) is the condition and the ground of a being. The unfolding of the notion „a being” shows that a being is a creature. That, which is not-God and not-being, must be named as a being. Because God exist by necessity, every being is contingent.
