There are two conclusions in this article. First, goodness does not differ objectively (really) from being. Second, goodness does differ subjectively (with a foundation in the thing) from the concept of being.
In order to adjudicate this problem, we must investigate the notion of a "transcendental." When we consider the reality of "being," we must conclude (as we have before) that this reality must transcend all things. There cannot be anything that is outside being. For, if it is outside being, it is nothing. Truth, goodness, beauty, life, etc., must all be "being" objectively.
