在亚里士多德看来,早期自然哲学家所讲的万物本原,实则预示了其形质论哲学体系中的质料概念。本文以《物理学》I.5~7的相关文本为基础,以质料概念的生成和自然形质论的建立为问题核心,详细分析了亚里士多德对于早期自然哲学家的辩证批判,力图揭示出质料概念和自然形质论的创造性与革命性。笔者认为,早期自然哲学家的本原研究所追问的仍然是首要的存在者,而质料概念的生成和自然形质论的建立则是亚里士多德追问存在者之存在的理论后果。 In Aristotle’s view, the primitive nature of all things spoken by early natural philosophers in fact foreshadowed the concept of material in his philosophical system of the nature of matter. Based on the related texts of Physics I.5 ~ 7, this thesis focuses on the issue of the formation of the concept of material quality and the creation of the theory of nature, and analyzes in detail the dialectical critique of Aristotle to the early natural philosophers. In an attempt to reveal the creative and revolutionary nature of the concept of mass and the theory of nature. The author believes that the primitive philosophers of early philosophers still pursue the primary existence, and the formation of the concept of material quality and the establishment of the nature theory are the theoretical consequences of Aristotle’s questioning the existence of the existence.
