This means that, as the Earth travels each year around the Sun, the axis is tilted alternately towards, then away from the Sun. Naturally, when the northern hemi...

Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Suárez's Conception of Metaphysics
The difference between non-real beings and possible beings is that possible beings have an aptitude for existence,even though they do not exist, whereas non-real beings do not. A possible being like Misifus, has an aptitude suchthat it could exist even if it does not; but a non-real being like a goatstag, lacks such an aptitude and neitherexists nor can exist (31, 2, 10; 26, 232).Real being, then, includes possible, unactualized essences in addition to actualized ones. This means that the...
