With regard to living things:
If the whole exists before the parts, then until the whole is fully
actualized, mustn't the whole be some kind of non-corporeal substance? I
cannot see any way to call oneself an Aristotelian, or neo-Aristotelian, (if
that is meant to include his metaphysics, which I think it must) without
admitting to non-physicalism. Is the foregoing justifiable?
