Aristotle says what it is when he names the πρῶται ἀρχαι καὶ αἰτίαι. This may be translated as "the first principles and causes" namely, of being. The first principles and causes thus constitute the Being of being. After two-and-a-half thousand years it would seem to be about time to consider what the Being of being has to do with such things as "principles" and "causes."

In what sense is Being conceived that such things as "principle" and "cause" are qualified to set their seal upon beings and take possession of them?
