  1. Pertaining to existence or entity: usually opposed to objective in the old sense of the latter word. Whether it [moral evil] has not some natural good for its subject, and so the entitative material act of sin be physically or morally good? Ellis, Knowledge of Divine Things (1811), p. 340.
  2. Entitative act actuality, that which distinguishes existence, or being in actu, from being in power or in germ. Thus, the entitative material act of sin is the existence of sin considered as an outward event, not as sin.
  3. Entitative being real being, opposed to intentional or objective being, which is existence merely as an object of consciousness.
