Ep. 337: Aristotle on Primary Being (Part One)
Mar 11, 2024
Delving into Aristotle's Metaphysics, the podcast discusses primary being as the substantial form in individual animals, challenging previous views on substance and essence. It explores the unity of beings through essence, navigates the paradox of universals and particulars, and delves into the essence of things. The conversation touches on substance as primary being, Aristotle's concept of thinghood, distinctions between animals and plants, and the significance of 'thisness' in defining entities.
