Substances, being the basic elements of independent things, possess compiled properties called matter. Because matter conclusively provides the make up of a substance, Aristotle believed that this meant things in our world can undergo changes without actually changing themselves. For example, a tree is comprised of a trunk, bark, limbs, and leaves. When seasons change, the leaves change color, shape, texture and then detach from the branches. The tree maintains the ultimate form of a tree to confirm it’s identity as a substance, despite it’s change as matter takes on different properties. Plato would have surrendered the entire object as a mere imitation, whereas Aristotle encompasses the depth of categorical illustration in his philosophies. Regardless of the differences in conceptual truths to assist people in explaining how, why, and what is, Plato and Aristotle conclusively agreed on two ideologies: change is an absolute for our
