Four types of changes
• What------become something else • quality------alteration with respect to non-
essential attributes • quantity-------increase and diminution • place-------motion, locomotion
Change will regress to infinity
There must be a stop!
• A terminal point • The logical starting point of the infinite
Change---from contrary to contrary
• nothing come into being from absolute non-being.
• There must be a third element in the change process----the matter(质料）.
• In the truest and primary and most definite sense of the word, is that which is neither predicable of a subject nor present in a subject; for instance, the individual man or horse.

• existing actually(actualization)--form, the purpose of change of matter, therefore must pre-exists its change.
Three meanings of the
term"substance"
• It can mean"matter" in the sense that it is that which underlies the change.
• The individual thing is a primary substance.
Secondary subtance第二实体
• That which is predicable of a subject is its higher classifications, the species and genera of a subject; these Aristotle calls secondary substance.
• Substance is independent to any other and other attributes are dependent on subtance.
Substance
• Something must first exist to stand under the attributes predicated of it.
