In philosophy, the concept of substance is used to refer to entities that exist independently and have properties or qualities that inhere in them. This concept is central to many philosophical systems, including those of Aristotle, Descartes, and Spinoza.
Aristotle
Aristotle defined substance as the underlying reality of a thing, which is distinct from its properties or attributes. He distinguished between primary substances, which are individual objects, and secondary substances, which are the species or genera to which the objects belong.
Descartes
Descartes used the term substance to refer to anything that exists in such a way that it needs no other entity to exist. He identified two types of substances: thinking substances and extended substances.
Spinoza
Spinoza defined substance as that which exists in itself and is conceived through itself. He argued that there is only one substance, which he identified with God or nature.
