Abstract
This paper is a comparative study of the concept of being in the metaphysics of Aristotle and E. M. P. Edeh. These philosophers belong to different socio-cultural and philosophical backgrounds which had influence on how they expressed their views. Employing the philosophical methods of hermeneutics and phenomenology, this study discovers that while both philosophers seem to differ on their understanding of being in some areas, they agreed to the fact that existence is an essential quality of being no matter how one tries to view it.
