question

Aristotle says  that what makes things be what they are--their essence--does not exist apart from individ-uals that exist in the world.  So if all the members of a species were destroyed, then their essence or form:

category

philosophy

options

  1. would remain preserved in the memories of the remaining species.
  2. would not be destroyed because there was no essence or form originally to be destroyed; there are only individuals, not universal essences or natures of things.
  3. would evolve into a different form or essence.
  4. would be destroyed only if the species was eliminated by unnatural causes.
  5. would be absorbed by another species.
  6. would transform into the essence of another existing species.
  7. would be destroyed only if there were no one around to remember the species.
  8. would exist as long as there are traces or remnants of the species left in the world.
  9. would continue existing (as with Plato's Forms) in some other realm of being.
  10. would likewise be destroyed.
