composite substance

Like Aristotle, Aquinas held that the human being was a unified composite substance of two substantial principles: form and matter.

Scagliola is a composite substance made from selenite, glue and natural pigments, imitating marble and other hard stones.

Every composite substance in the world consists of simple parts; and there exists nothing that is not either itself simple, or composed of simple parts.

Roscelin was also taken to task by Anselm and Abelard for the less clear idea which he gave of the whole and of composite substance.

(III) Composite substances or matter are "actually sub-divided without end" and have the properties of their infinitesimal parts ( 65).

The researchers said atom-probe tomography could revolutionize the understanding of composite substances and help in the development of next-generation, bio-inspired materials for medicine, electronics and energy-saving ventures.

Metamaterials: Physics and Engineering Explorations is a book length introduction to the fundamental research and advancements in electromagnetic composite substances known as electromagnetic metamaterials.

Since elements combine to form composite substances, and because these substances differ from each other, there must be different elements: in other words, "b or a cannot be the same as ba."

For, grant that composite substances do not consist of simple parts; in this case, if all combination or composition were annihilated in thought, no composite part, and (as, by the supposition, there do not exist simple parts) no simple part would exist.

While Aquinas defended the unity of human nature as a composite substance constituted by these two inextricable principles of form and matter, he also argued for the incorruptibility of the intellectual soul, in contrast to the corruptibility of the vegetative and sensitive animation of plants and animals.
