9. Objects / B. Unity of Objects / 2. Substance / d. Substance defined

12358	Substance is a principle and a kind of cause [Wedin]
	Full Idea: Substance [ousia] is a principle [arché] and a kind of cause [aitia].
	From: Michael V. Wedin (Aristotle's Theory of Substance [2000], 1041a09)
	A reaction: The fact that substance is a cause is also the reason why substance is the ultimate explanation. It is here that I take the word 'power' to capture best what Aristotle has in mind.
