Substance and Object
Question
Are these synonymous words? For example, when people say that according to Plato the ideal is a substance, do they mean that it is an object (except that the object does not exist in our world)?
Is an electromagnetic wave, for example, an object in our world?
Answer
This is just semantics. Why is that interesting? Check a dictionary.
