Do aristotelian substances exist?

The question will seem absurd. For Aristotle, it is substance which exists primarily, while other things, for example, its accidents, exist thanks to substance. In the phrase, their esse is inesse, whereas the existence of substance belongs to it in its own right, as such, in itself and not in ano...

description The question will seem absurd. For Aristotle, it is substance which exists primarily, while other things, for example, its accidents, exist thanks to substance.

The question nonetheless began to be asked whether the faith that governed Thomas's theology —as well as his life— was so easily separable from his philosophical thinking. Attention began to be drawn to philosophical tenets of Thomas which seemed to bear the stamp of their origin in revelation.

Furthermore, Aristotle notoriously maintained that the world of change had no beginning, that it was in that sense eternal. It was not something that, as a whole, could meaningfully be said to come into existence —or pass out of existence. For Thomas, of course, the world had been created in time and would eventually end. Aristotle's world, it began to be said, was not a created world...
