Aristotle finds the resolution to the ancient problem of '''''being''''' and '''''becoming''''' within the distinction of the terms matter and form. Plato believes that <u>being is the ideal object</u> found in the other (ideal) world, whereas <u>becoming is the receptacle</u> or material thing down here. | Aristotle finds the resolution to the ancient problem of '''''being''''' and '''''becoming''''' within the distinction of the terms matter and form.
