26. Natural Theory / A. Speculations on Nature / 7. Later Matter Theories / b. Corpuscles

16675	Every extended material substance is composed of parts distant from one another [William of Ockham]
	Full Idea: Every extended material substance is composed of substantial parts distant from one another in place or location.
	From: William of Ockham (Tractatus de corpore Christi [1323], Ch. 12)
	A reaction: Pasnau glosses this as that 'bodies have corpuscular structure', meaning that they are made up of parts of matter (rather than just enformed matter, I think).
