(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.
And like so many things in Scolasticism, "substance" is a term from Aristotle. That which stands under = substance.
If we assume that it always means what it means in modern English conversation (as people often mistakenly do with the word "cause"), we're going to end up begging several questions and narrowing down the discussion to the point of silliness.
