Abstract

This thesis is an exposition of the metaphysical position set down by Paul Weiss in his Modes of Being. It is written in answer to the question, "How is it that there are four irreducible modes of being as held by Paul Weiss?" While the bulk of material with which this thesis deals derives directly from Modes of Being, several of Weiss' central arguments in support of his position were taken from an earlier work, Reality, written in 1939. The fundamental metaphysical positions of both works are compatible with one another.
