Secondary substance - species and genera by primary substance, aristotle does not mean the elements, not the reduced constitutive principles, but rather what makes a substance indepenent. he does not mean iron or something, that"s just a material cause. Primary substance is in some sense independent. so the wall is independent, white is dependent. Those things which can be predicated of another thing are said to be secondary. Human is secondary. human is said of anothing thing. so for aristotle, white inheres in a wall. but wall does not inhere in anything. They are both trying to get to the essence of something.
