another piece of wisdom from our favorite guy Peter Gabriel
They have a similar "bald white men" thing going on. Also, I wanted to make a pun with one of his songs, but the only one I can remember is "Shock the monkey."
surprised at quite how well it had weathered the passage of time since it was first built in the fourteenth century. I was told it hadn’t weathered well at all
To be the jerk here, this points out that it isn't a philosophy question at all, it's a trick. The guide was perfectly capable of understanding the concept of "the building has weathered" (or, in this case, not). So they understood the idea of the building as a physical object that can be damaged. To then pretend that actually it's the Idea of a Building that survived since the 14th century is a bait and switch.
Hylomorphism argues that the form of an object is a property that is immanent to the matter making the object. This is distinct from a platonist explanation, where the form is the idea of the object. Since the form is "within" the matter, it make sense to speak of it and of the matter itself. That being said, I am far from being the most knowledgable person on Aristotle, I just know of his philosophy second hand, so my explanation might be flawed.
