    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Accidents of the organism's body can remain after the organism's death, even if Scotus does not posit a forma corporeitatis.

    Without a forma corporeitatis, Scotus has no alternative formal principle to ground the post-mortem persistence of organs as genuine substances.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Scotus rejects substantial forms as primitive metaphysical posits; without forma corporeitatis, no formal principle remains to unify organ matter.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Post-mortem organs require metaphysical grounding as substances, not mere aggregates; Scotus lacks an alternative principle to provide this.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Scotus's haecceity explains individual identity but not substantial persistence; it cannot substitute for a corporeal form's unifying function.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Scotus may ground post-mortem organs in divine conservation of their matter plus accidental dispositions, not requiring a forma corporeitatis.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The claim assumes substances must have formal principles; Scotus's mereology might allow genuine substance-status through composition alone.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Scotus's doctrine of virtual distinction permits organ-matter and form to remain unified without a distinct forma corporeitatis after death.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
