(January 29, 2022 at 10:38 pm)Neo-Scholastic Wrote: Substance is not a concept of physics. It comes from Scholasticism. So IMO at least some of the mind-body problem stems from mixing the nomenclature of two very different conceptual frameworks.
I think it goes back at least to Aristotle. it certainly wasn't invented in the middle ages since many ancient Christian controversies were about the 'substance' of Christ.
PS: I was right. Aristotle talked about substances in his Categories.
