Abstract
Whitehead held that a static conception of substance -- that of wholly self-contained and changeless endurance underlying qualitative changes -- is entailed by Aristotle's descriptions of 'substance'. But this judgment, unquestioned thereafter by process philosophers, radically distorts Aristotle's conception, which is rather that of an entity which internally develops over time and is intrinsically related to other such entities. Whitehead's polemic against substance, therefore, tells neither against Aristotle nor against the general feasibility of substance metaphysics. [Abstract from The Philosopher's Index]
