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.
