I have not read much Aristotle, but I can empathize.
He tried to get to the bottom of things and pursued various paths.
I think his mainstream metaphysics (Genus, Species, Difference, ...) is somewhat different from his Hylemorphism and was more successful.

- xoac 3y ago“mainstream metaphysics” what??
- hackandthink 3y ago"Mainstream metaphysics" means categorialism. Everybody knows about genus/species hierarchy. "What is the relationship between categorialism and hylemorphism, Aristotle’s other major ontological theory? Where does matter fit, if at all, in the categorial scheme?" https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/aristotle-categories/ https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/aristotle-categories/
- wduquette 3y agoHylemorphism is how Aristotle further subdivides the category of substance.
