9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 4. Quantity of an Object

16673	Quantity just adds union and location to the extension of parts [Olivi]
	Full Idea: Quantity or extension adds absolutely nothing really distinct to the quantified matter or to the extended and quantified form, except perhaps the union and location and position of those parts.
	From: Peter John Olivi (Summa quaestionum super Sententias [1290], II:58,II:440), quoted by Robert Pasnau - Metaphysical Themes 1274-1671 14.1
	A reaction: Other views seem to say that the Quantity provides the extension, but he seems to take that as given.
