    It is not the case that P7 follows from the combination of the result that no form is in humans and P6

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.P6 concerns predication structure, not spatial containment, so 'in humans' shifts meaning between P6 and the conclusion.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Equivocating on 'in' conflates participation (methexis) with immanence, undermining the inferential step to P7.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Aristotle's immanent universals (Metaphysics Z) show forms can be genuinely present in particulars without being wholly consumed by them.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If a defensible alternative allows forms to be 'in' things in a qualified sense, the premise 'no form is in humans' requires additional argument beyond what P6 supplies.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
