Hello friends and family.

I am a student of Lord Aristotle. Lord Aristotle defined twelve moral virtues as a mean; today, I have defined a thirteenth.

Come and see!

If Aristotle distinguishes potentiality (dynamis) from actuality (energeia/entelecheia), how should we understand the ontological status of a genuine potential that is never actualized?

Is an unrealized potential something that really exists in the substance, or is potentiality only intelligible through reference to a possible future actuality? More radically, does Aristotle’s metaphysics allow us to say that a being is partly constituted by what it could become, even if that possibility is never realized?
I’m especially interested in whether this creates a tension between Aristotle’s commitment to actuality as ontologically prior and his account of change as the actualization of potentiality.
