 | | Z.11, 1037a6: it is also clear that the soul is the primary substance, the body is matter, and man or animal is composed of the two as universal. |
 | | Substances are supposed to be objects of knowledge, and objects of knowledge are universals, Aristotle says (417b21, 1140b31). |
 | | Similarly, substances are supposed to be, par excellence, definable, and it is universals, rather than individuals, that are definable, according to Aristotle (90b4, 97b25, 1036a28, 1039b20, 1040a5). |
