O’ Hara, M. L., ed. Substances and Things: Aristotle’s Doctrine of Physical Substance in Recent Essays. Washington, D.C.: University Press of America, 1982.

Abstract

United by a common focus upon substance as physical entity (the aspect under which Aristotle thought substance easiest to grasp initially), these essays illustrate a variety of approaches (logical, linguistic, metaphysic) and standpoints. In light of contemporary problems (notably those of Whitehead’s cosmology) and scholarship, the notion of substance is seen to be central to discussion of the person in various disciplines today.
