Aristotle Substance

Decent Essays
Aristotle also considered substance, meaning independent existence. A tree exists in its own right and is a substance, but its leaves could not exist without the tree. He explains the leaves are secondary qualities and the tree is a primary quality.
Aristotle thought that Plato’s view on the universe was nonsense. The world we can sense and experience is the only world we can philosophize about. He saw no sense in having a theory of ’two worlds’, Aristotle's view is prevailed as common sense and a scientific view: he also argued that the physical things in this world – changeable and imperfect are reality.

    Plato's Form Of Roundness

    In his dialogue Timaeus, Plato discusses the nature of the physical world as well as its purposes and properties. He claims that since nothing becomes or changes without some cause, then the cause of the universe must be a demiurge or god. He goes on to claim that since the universe is fair, this shows that god looked to the eternal model in order to create it. According to Plato, god needed to look at something in order to create the universe and the eternal perfect world of forms was his template. In another one of his dialogues, Parmenides, Plato claims that the forms are self existent as well as eternal.…

    So Plato came up with a very complex yet surprisingly digestible Theory of the Forms. Plato believed that it is possible to find a true being of virtue or just, that is, you can find its form. Plato believed that all things have a true being. According to Plato, the world we live in is an imperfect replica of the real world. Our world, the material word, is constantly undergoing change and we rely on our senses to understand what is going on.…

    As to this I understand what you're Aristotle means; matter is potentially, similar to wood. Wood is matter that has the potential to become something, such as a table or a chair. Form, on the other hand, is what gives matter it's actuality, similar to a chair or table giving wood actuality or essence, not the mere shape of the table or share but the virtue of being. I believe this is what Aristotle believes soul is. The form of a body.…

    Aristotle Dualism

    • 866 Words
    • 4 Pages

    If Aristotle finds Plato’s definition of the soul too dualistic and Democritus’ too materialistic, what does he hold to be true about the soul? Aristotle proffers that the right definition of the soul lay in the mind of “the [philosopher] who mentions both form and matter” (box 332). In Aristotle’s view, soul and body are intertwined, and cannot be separated from one another. He provides an analogy to show the link between form and matter, and the ways in which both Plato and Democritus fail to account for such a link. The analogy goes as follows: take the syllable, CAT, in the word, “category;” this syllable is neither reducible to the sum of letters that make it up, nor is it reducible to letters (or anything else) other than C, A, and…

    Socrates is a philosopher who had spent his life trying to obtain the external wisdom and rational understanding required for dwelling in Hades. Likewise, he had spent his life philosophizing, studying and approaching other people. Although he heard voices and had dreams during his childhood, Aristotle understood the meaning of his purpose when he started questioning the wisdom of other people. His journey led him to the conclusion that really the god is wise and that human wisdom is worth little or nothing. Also, he realized that he was the wisest because he realized the fact that whatever he did not know, he did not claim to know, while others claimed to know something which they did not.…

    Aristotle takes it that bodies (more specifically, natural bodies), which are taken to have life in them, are generally considered substances (Aristotle 412a12-14). More strictly speaking, a body that has life in it is a substance in the third sense—they body is a compound (Aristotle 412a15). Here one might immediately question how or why it is that Aristotle’s distinction between substance as matter and form, and even more so how potentiality and actuality could apply to body and soul, in order to characterize living beings as the third composite understanding of substance. Granted, one the face of it, the application seems a bit implausible.…

    Many things have changed since man was first made out of the dust of the earth, but the passage of time finds humanity today continuing to struggle with reality (and themselves) just as their predecessors did many years ago. Worldview (that is, one’s perception of reality) is critical to how an individual comes to terms with such things, as it both shapes and is shaped by the person who holds it. Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, is no exception, but is noteworthy as much of Western thought stems from the contemplations of his enigmatic mind. The worldview held by this philosopher is based upon a moral framework of absolutely defined good and evil, a separation between a true self called “soul” and the physical body (just as archetypes…

    Aristotle's Paradigm Shift

    • 1893 Words
    • 8 Pages

    In the first chapter of the Worldviews book by Richard DeWitt, both the worldviews of Aristotle and Newton are compared and it becomes quite obvious Aristotle studied both his own reality and the nature of the space that lay beyond human grasp, studying everything from the ground upon which he would walk to the skies that were home to the sun and moon which shimmered upon him. The earth, water, fire, and air were the elements that existed in his observed and tangible reality and he, therefore, claimed these elements to be the basic elements of life that each held their own specific character. When observing the celestial bodies, Aristotle theorized that these planets were composed of a different element, ether, and its character existed in a perfect nature as he could observe from his earthly position. Along with this assumption, he believed that, these objects made of ether traveled in a perfect rotation, lasting 24-hours, around the earth as it stood at the center of the universe. Aristotle ultimately concluded these assumptions from the observations he made along with the interactions that occurred around him.…
