Aristotle on the identity of substance and essence
Philosophical Review 85 (4):545-561 (1976)
Abstract
When aristotle identifies form with substance he may have sufficiently refuted heraclitus' contention that we cannot step into the same river twice, But he is left with two problems: (1) how an object can have matter but be identical to its essence and different from its matter; and (2) there are some questions about the conditions for identity of a substance across time.
