How Did Aristotle's Four Types Of Change

2. "To suffer change or be acted upon, too, is a term with more than one meaning. Sometimes it means a sort of destruction by the contrary, sometimes it is rather a preservation of what is potentially by that which is actually, and which is like the former insofar as a potentiality and by like an actuality.

Hence it is not right to think that that which thinks undergoes a qualitative alteration when it thinks, just as it is not right to say that a builder undergoes a change when he builds."
(A) Aristotle identifies two main types of being acted upon in this passage. Describe, with one example for each, what is characteristic of each of these types of being acted upon, and how they differ from one another.
The two main types of being acted upon in this passage, as identified by Aristotle are: 1) a sort of extinction by the
This occurs where something transitions from a state of having some capacity - to using it. Moreover, this transition directly involves the thing with the capacity not losing any particular quality when actualized (PowerPoint). This means that the capacity is not destroyed by the change — it is preserved by it. An example of this occurring is when an author manifests his or her knowledge of how to write. When this occurs, said author does not lose his or her capacity to use his or her knowledge of how to write; rather, the author can stop using his or her capacity and restart again without any intervening change. In this scenario, the capacity is not destroyed; it is preserved. Hence, non-destructive
