Thank you, Alexander!  It seemed to me that d.2 had meant indeterminate as regards quantity.  Are there examples of other things that are determinate in quantity but not in the other predicables or is this what makes prime matter unique?

I'm convinced that if it weren't unorthodox for a Catholic to accept a universal active intellect, I'd be an Averroist; although, that temptation might be on account of some latent hipster envy.

Please, forgive my amateur quesitons.

Is there a consequence here in affirming d.2 that material prima is itself indivisible and infinite?  If this is the case, how do we then say that an indivisibly infinite thing is an element of A; how is it that an infinite thing can be an element of a finite thing?

Welcome, mashsha'i!  I had no idea that Avicennians were still running around.  Is there quite a wide circle that you work in?  Are there any rogue Averroists that try to upset your Avicennian musing?

Welcome, quotidian!  Have you read much of Proclus?  His commentary on Euclid's first book of the Elements might be right up your alley.

Welcome, Ben! I have a great interest in whether or not one must cede the eternality of the Cosmos to the Kalam cosmological argument.  Do you have any relevent articles to shoot my way?
