The two features here yoked pertain to all beings, of any sort, namely being categorially delineated and being modally enmeshed. By this is meant that all beings are such that: (i) they are beings in some category or other; and (ii) they are actual or potential beings. So, it falls to the first philosopher to investigate all three of these features, namely, being logically circumscribed (that is, being subject to the principle of non-contradiction), being categorially delineated, and being modally enmeshed. When we read much of the work that has come down to us under the title of the Metaphysics, this is precisely the sort of investigation we find Aristotle conducting. (For a fuller characterization of these features of Aristotelian metaphysics, see Shields 2012.)
