Synopsis
This book sheds light on the Physical System, a philosophical concept of matter and form that differs considerably from the Mechanic and Dynamic systems. The author begins by defining fundamental concepts such as materia prima and substantial form, explaining that every substance results from two principles: a source of extension (materia prima) and a source of activity (substantial form). The author clarifies that materia prima is not to be confused with the notions of atoms or seminal causes, and that substantial form is not a subsisting force. This system, advanced by the author as the Physical System of St. Thomas, is rooted in an ancient philosophical tradition and acknowledges the existence of physical laws as effects in created things. Drawing from the work of ancient philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle, the author traces the development of the concept of substantial form, emphasizing the crucial distinction between incomplete substances (materia prima and substantial form) and complete substances (the composite of both). The book explores the implications of the Physical System for our understanding of nature, creation, atoms, qualities, attraction, and physical laws. It argues that the Physical System provides a coherent and comprehensive framework for understanding the physical world, one that is both rooted in tradition and open to ongoing scientific inquiry.
