" Metaphysics Z 17's Ontological Deduction of Form as Principle and Primary Substance through the Analysis of Becoming" Parte de ISSN: 2159-5313ISSN: 2159-5321 (original) (raw)

Aristotle's definitive demonstration of the essence of substance in the framework of the hylomorphic theory is found in chapter 17 of the Book Zeta of Metaphysics. There he concludes that form is the primary substance and the first cause of the generable and corruptible substance. The theory of the form understood as the deepest cause of any material entity within the framework of the Hylomorphism, is called to play a fundamental explanatory function of the principles that sustain the scientific theory and experimentation in biology, neuroscience, psychology, chemistry, physics, and in the other particular sciences in the third millennium.
