In Heidegger the ontological is that which is concerned with Being, and the ontic is that which is concerned with entities and facts about them. See Martin Heidegger, Being and Time, Oxford: Blackwell, 1992, H 11–15.
- Karl Marx, ‘Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts’ in Karl Marx Early Texts (translated and edited by David McLellan), Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1971, 139. Here Marx defines species-life as follows: “But productive life is species-life. It is life producing life. The whole character of a species, its generic character, is contained in the manner of its vital activity and free conscious activity is the species-characteristic of man.” He defines species-being as follows: “Conscious vital activity differentiates man immediately from animal vital activity. It is this and this alone that makes man a species-being. He is only a conscious being, that is his own life is an object to him, precisely because he is a species-being. This is the only reason for his activity being free activity.”
