Study Notes
Aristotelian Substance
- Aristotle criticised Plato's idea that the ultimate reality is the Form (Idea).
- Aristotle believed true reality lies in concrete, individual things (e.g., this dog, this table, this man).
- Aristotle called these concrete things "primary substance".
- Aristotle differentiated between primary and secondary substance.
- Primary substance is the individual (e.g., Socrates).
- Secondary substance is the universal, comprising species and genus (e.g., human, animal).
- Only primary substance, the individual, has true reality.
- Secondary substance (species and genus) are universal, not concrete.
- Species are more real than genus because they are closer to the individual.
