Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, and Metaphysics

[Neo-Scholastic]

In Aristotelian realism, the form of an object is the consequence of its substance and the form within our intellect is the reflection of that form.

No. You're projecting your own materialism onto Aristotle. Form is not a consequence of substance. The term is hylomorphism and it refers to the concept that all real substances (which has a particular meaning) are a unity of form and matter, neither of which can exist separately but may be discerned as such by the intellect.

(Why do we always end up debating the same topic on two threads simultaneously?)
