Adorno XIII 154 Substance/Descartes/Adorno: in Descartes the term substance is defined as the, quod nulla re indiget ad existendum, which requires no other thing to exist. One could conclude that it must be with absolute necessity. - - - Esfeld I 212 Substance/Kant: Only the whole of matter persists in all change. (Like Descartes). Matter/Descartes: "physical", "material" and "extended" are synonymous for Descartes. EsfeldVsDescartes: his position is ambiguous: a) No substance can cease to exist, so we can only allow one substance. b) On the other hand, he assumes that the parts of the physical substance itself are substances! There should be a real difference between the parts. Def Real Difference/Descartes: Difference between substances. Matter/Space/Descartes/Esfeld: Matter = Space! Identifying matter with space implies that physics can be reconstructed without being confined to material things in addition to space. Further consequence: Areas of space may have physical properties, but they cannot move. >Space, cf. >Substantivalism, >Relationism, >Change._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
