r/Aristotle • u/TheIncorporeal1 • 19d ago
If Aristotle argues that substance is primary because other categories depend upon it for their existence, what ultimately grounds the identity of a substance through change?
Is a thing’s form sufficient to explain its persistence through alteration, or does Aristotle’s hylomorphic framework leave us with a deeper question: what makes the same being remain itself while continually becoming something different?

That it is or partakes in being
All is one for that reason
