9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 2. Hylomorphism / a. Hylomorphism
16602 Corpuscularianism rejected not only form, but also the dependence of matter on form [Pasnau]
9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 2. Hylomorphism / b. Form as principle
16612 Hylomorphism may not be a rival to science, but an abstract account of unity and endurance [Pasnau]
9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 2. Hylomorphism / c. Form as causal
16613 Hylomorphism declined because scholastics made it into a testable physical theory [Pasnau]
16747 Scholastics made forms substantial, in a way unintended by Aristotle [Pasnau]
16759 Scholastics began to see substantial form more as Aristotle's 'efficient' cause [Pasnau]
9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 2. Hylomorphism / d. Form as unifier
16748 Aquinas says a substance has one form; Scotists say it has many forms [Pasnau]
9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 4. Quantity of an Object
16671 Scholastic Quantity either gives a body parts, or spreads them out in a unified way [Pasnau]
9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 6. Constitution of an Object
16065 Constitution is identity (being in the same place), or it isn't (having different possibilities) [Wasserman]
16067 Constitution is not identity, because it is an asymmetric dependence relation [Wasserman]
16069 There are three main objections to seeing constitution as different from identity [Wasserman]
9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 7. Substratum
16579 There may be different types of substrate, or temporary substrates [Pasnau]
16596 A substratum can't be 'bare', because it has a job to do [Pasnau]
16584 If a substrate gives causal support for change, quite a lot of the ingredients must endure [Pasnau]
16580 A substrate may be 'prime matter', which endures through every change [Pasnau]
9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 8. Parts of Objects / a. Parts of objects
16068 The weight of a wall is not the weight of its parts, since that would involve double-counting [Wasserman]
