Abstract
It is important to explain the concept of Aristotelian matter. First, since Aristotle appears to be the first philosopher to use the term Hule in its philosophical sense, and through Aristotle, this concept has been incorporated into philosophy. Secondly, the concept of prime matter is challenged because prime matter, according to Aristotle, has no determining. The concept of matter in general in Aristotle's philosophy, like the concept of the form, seems to be a philosophical one, which we must consider as the secondary intelligibles. Aristotelian material takes precedence over any external physical matter. So is Aristotle's translation of matter into physical matter not a confusion? This article explains these important issues that play an important role in understanding the concept of matter.
It seems that some of the challenges raised in the new period around Aristotle's prime matter are not paying attention to the fact that Aristotle's hule is of the philosophical concpets of secondary intelligibles, not an external physical object.
