8. Modes of Existence / B. Properties / 8. Properties as Modes

16643

Accidents always remain suited to a subject

			Full Idea: An accident's aptitudinal relationship to a subject is essential, and this is never taken away from accidents….for it is true to say that they are suited to a subject.
			From: Bonaventura (Commentary on Sentences [1252], IV.12.1.1.1c)
			A reaction: This is the compromise view that allows accidents to be separated, for Transubstantiation, while acknowledging that we identify them with their subjects.

9. Objects / E. Objects over Time / 6. Successive Things

16696

Successive things reduce to permanent things

			Full Idea: Everything successive reduces to something permanent.
			From: Bonaventura (Commentary on Sentences [1252], II.2.1.1.3 ad 5), quoted by Robert Pasnau - Metaphysical Themes 1274-1671 18.2
			A reaction: Avicenna first took successive entities seriously, but Bonaventure and Aquinas seem to have rejected them, or given reductive accounts of them. It resembles modern actualists versus modal realists.
