In philosophy, an entity indicates those determinations of a thing, specified in its "definition", which constitute its nature.

The term "being" is used mainly in three ways:
+
1. Existence: to express the fact that a certain thing exists; for example, "the grass is (= there is, exists)", but also "the unicorn is (at least in the imagination of those who think)". <br>

2. Identity: for example "the French are the inhabitants of France", "Umberto Eco is the author of The Name of the Rose"
+
3. Preaching: to express a property of a certain object; for example "the apple is red".
+
The above is a generalization that, if we understand the main uses of the word, does not account for the variety of meanings and implications that the concept of Being has had in the history of philosophy. It is therefore necessary to examine the concept of Being as it has been analyzed by various philosophers throughout history. It can be premised that, on the one hand in philosophy, Being has been considered not only a verb but also a noun (Being as "all that is" or as "the fact that X exists", etc.); on the other hand that identity and predication are the object of study also of another discipline, logic, for which the generic definitions given above would be inaccurate.

It should also be kept in mind that the terms being and existence have often been used with different meanings, while in common language we tend to consider them as synonyms.{{WpLink}}

Definition

Entities are the answer to the questions "what exist?, what produces existence?".

They are what have the property that we call "Existence". To exist means to be real, to be in, to take part of Reality.

Entity is everything that has Existence as a fundamental Property.

We can say that Entities exist because they produce Existence (they produce Action, the Events, the changes in/of the Sources, the Agents / Forces and Acted / Fields couples). In other words, we cannot say that entities exist per se, they exist in the act of producing Existence, of producing Events, Action.
