O.K., maybe not all bad movies, but there's an exemplary kind of badness that's so prevalent in the history of cinema, and that forms such a substantial part of the medium today, that it at least seems like it fits all of them.
Consequently, some hypotheses, such as the "substantial forms" of scholastics, were ruled out.
It was posited against the prevailing Peripatetic view which made reference to such things as substantial forms and prime matter in order to explain the permanence underlying the continuous change that matter undergoes.
According to Cavendish, none of the achievements of bodies are to be traced to immaterial agents such as God, immaterial finite minds, or substantial forms, because bodies have the resources to bring about everything that they do on their own.
The distinction between substantial and accidental forms derives from their different relations to primary substances, which instantiate substantial forms (which in turn, qua instantiated, are secondary substances), so that such universal forms disclose the natures of particular substances.
If so, his point may be that a generic kind, such as animal, is ontologically dependent on its species, and hence on the substantial forms that are the essences of those species.
Isotherms for some mixed cation forms (such as Ba/H and La/H) demonstrate the weakest adsorption with substantial adsorption swing capacity between 1 and 200 kPa.
This idea is the basis of Kilwardby's moderate realism of universals and his doctrine of the plurality of substantial forms: universal forms genera and species exist in individual things as their constituents, but as such (that is, as forms existing in individual things) they are not universal forms but individuated and individuating forms.
The Avicennian concept was adopted by others, such as Henry of Ghent and Duns Scotus, and thus served the theory of the plurality of substantial forms.
