Question:
Why do logicians and most people believe that there are both spiritual and corporeal substances?
Submit
Answer (optional):
Logicians and most people believe that there are both spiritual and corporeal substances because substances are understood as the subjects of acts or accidents, and different substances are perceived as subjects of very different acts or accidents. Therefore, it is reasonable and customary to call those substances by different names, such as spiritual and corporeal, and examine if those different names signify different or the same thing.
