PHILOSOPHY 006: Introduction to Philosophy MIDTERM EXAMINATION, FALL SEMESTER, 2017 Prof. Smith, College of the Desert Read carefully the following passage from Aristotle: Most of the earliest philosophers regarded principles of a material kind as the only principles of all things. That of which all things consist, from which they are originally generated, and into which they are finally dissolved, is persisting substance, although its attributes change. This, they affirm, is the element and first principle of Being (arche). . . Hence, too, they hold that nothing is either generated or annihilated, as this primary entity always persists. Question (1): Show how the "earliest philosophers" arrived at the conclusion that "nothing is either generated or annihilated". Question (2): Here is our class lecture definition of substance: That which remains self-identical regardless of any changes it can undergo; the unchanging foundation for change. Consider an ordinary artifact, say, a dining room table that is constructed entirely out of wood. According to the definition of substance given in our class lectures, answer the following questions. a) Is the table a substance? b) Is the wood of which the table is composed a substance? c) Is the tree from which the wood originates a substance? d) Are the wood molecules of which the table is composed substances? e) Are the atoms of which the table is composed substances? Justify your answers. 1
