A '''Contigent being''' is differentiated from a [[necessary being]] in that it admits of, though it does not demand, actualization. It is thus coextensive with possible being. The contingent is that being whose [[essence]] does not include existence and which, therefore, does not, as such, demand existence. Humans are contingent beings, while [[God]] is a necessary being.
