Some points to stress from A.E. Taylor's Aristotle (Dover, 1955). [Available in the Le Moyne College library at B485 .T27 1956]
1. Matter & Form, form the most recent formal character (e.g., the roundness of a silver dollar), with the silver being the matter which was thus shaped. Lurking behind all this is the idea of a prime matter. (47-48)
2. Discuss the relationship between the matter which is potentially a thus and so and the actual thus and so. (48-49)
2a. Acorns and oaks; the natural end of a kind. AET points out the connection between this and the end of life in Aristotle's Ethics. (49)
3. Motion: generation, decay, corruption, alteration, augmentation,
diminution, motion through space (including transference, rotation).
(56)
3a. Eternality of motion. (56-57)
3b. The prime mover, pure form/actuality, object of universal
conation; G as thought thinking itself. (57-60)
