If, in philosophy , a subject philosophy subject supposes a non historical presence, an eternity eternal substance, then how could the subject be historicized without keeping the ahistorical, essential core of this subject on which change occurs? Nietzsche s critique of the subject is based in the rejection of an existing substance in favor of forces and wills combining to form combinations, sometimes in the form of a consciousness . Heidegger later traced the concept of subject to the metaphysical concept of Substance philosophy ousia to demonstrate the impossibility of eliminating the subject by simply historicizing it. The modern definition of subjectivity, according to Heidegger, recovered Kant s definition of the substance in the Critique of Pure Reason and Aristotle s definition of ousia in Metaphysics .

His work is in the form of questions and answers illustrating the points at issue at the Council and subsequently, i. e. in the form of chapters dealing with points such as hypostasis, ousia, physis, and other points at debate between neo Chalcedonians and Monophysites . The philosophical implication of such terms for Christology is thoroughly developed. The work includes a number of quotations from standard authors such as the Cappadocians , John Chrysostom and Cyril of Alexandria , and also Ps.

Unreferenced date December 2009 In Scholasticism scholastic philosophy , quiddity IPAc en icon k w d t i Latin quidditas was another term for the essence of an object, literally its whatness, or what it is. The term derives from the Latin word quidditas, which was used by the medieval scholastics as a literal translation of the equivalent term in Aristotle s Greek. It describes properties that a particular substance e.g. a person shares with others of its kind. The question what quid is it? asks for a general description by way of commonality. This is quiddity or whatness i.e., its what it is . Quiddity was often contrasted by the Scholasticism scholastic philosophers with the haecceity or thisness of an item, which was supposed to be a positive characteristic of an individual that caused them to be this individual, and no other. It is used in this sense in British poet George Herbert s eponymous poem, Quiddity. Thomism Other senses In law, the term is used to refer to a quibble or academic point. An example can be seen in Hamlet s graveside speech found in Hamlet by William Shakespeare . Where be his quiddities now, his quillets, his cases, his tenures says Hamlet referring to a lawyer s quiddities. Quiddity is the name for the mystical dream sea in Clive Barker s novel The Great and Secret Show that exists as a higher plane of human existence. It is featured as more of a literal sea in the novel s sequel, Everville and the related short story, On Amen s Shore .

The dromon from Greek language Greek , drom n , i.e. runner was a type of galley and the most important warship of the Byzantine navy from the 6th to 12th centuries AD. It was indirectly developed from the ancient trireme and was usually propelled by both oar s and sail s, a configuration that had been used by navies in the Mediterranean Sea for centuries. Literary sources and accounts reveal that there were at least three varieties of dromon, while the exact relation of the dromon proper with the chelandion , a term with which it is often used interchangeably, somewhat unclear. These were, firstly the ousiakon which took its name from one company or ousia of 100 men. This was a two banked galley with the lower rank rowing only, and the upper rank rowing or disengaging to fight when required. Secondly the slightly larger pamphylos with a crew of between 120 and 160. Thirdly the dromon proper, which had a crew of 200 50 on the lower bank, and 100 on the upper bank in two files, together with 50 Marine armed services marine s. The dromons had a central tower xylokastron Greek wooden castle near the main Mast sailing mast , from which the marines could use their bow weapon bows and arrow s or throw spear s and other projectiles. Dromons were frequently equipped with flamethrower s siphones , and as such the ships were described as siph nophoroi dromones that discharged Greek fire and catapult s capable of hurling 10 kg projectiles up to 250 meters.
