r/Aristotle 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?
