    Key Terms

    Aristotle
    Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher who lived over 2,000 years ago and is one of the most influential thinkers in Western history. He studied nearly every subject—from animals and plants to politics and ethics—and developed practical ways of thinking that shaped how people understand the world. His ideas on logic, nature, and how to live a good life are still taught and debated today because he focused on observing the real world rather than just abstract theories.
    Constituted by(describing what conditions would make something true)
    Made up of or determined by; in this case, what things would need to happen for something to count as true.
    necessary (in philosophy)(as used in modal logic and metaphysics)
    Something that must be true or must happen; the opposite of contingent or accidental. A necessary truth couldn't possibly be false.
    relational properties(Contrasted with intrinsic properties in the property-dualist two-aspects theory)
    Properties of objects that appear to us and are spatial and temporal
