    Has anyone worked on the Aristotle Topics or art of Dialectic? I find the topics hard to understand

    Question: How does prime matter relate to the material cause? Aristotle uses the example of bronze being the material cause of the statue, but that seems like it is a per accidens material cause since "bronze" is not a requirement of making a statue a statue (unless of course if we were talking about a bronze statue rather than just a "statue"). Love your videos by the way.

      Hey there, I believe this has to do with the fact that this is regarding the accidental form, not the substantial form, thus bronze is the example used. Though the matter can be changed and the substantial form remain the same

      Like material cause of something prime matter is in potency; material cause of something is in potency to that thing's form, and prime matter is in potency to substantial form.
      Material cause of the statue is just whatever it is in which we find the form, for e.g. in what do we find the form of a candle?
      21:00 note the basis of division of primary matter and secondary matter.
      In the video he says prime matter is that which itself is not composed of anything else.
