<p>created page</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>An accident (Greek συμβεβηκός), in metaphysics and philosophy, is a property that the entity or substance has contingently, without which the substance can still retain its identity. An accident does not affect its essence.<br /> <br /> The term &quot;accident&quot; is not as used as in common speech, i.e., a chance incident, normally harmful. <br /> <br /> Aristotle, proposes an ontology of substances and accidents. Substances, such as a man or a horse, are the basic, independent, entities in this ontology; accidents are the dependent entities that inhere in the substances.<br /> <br /> Aristotle made a distinction between the essential and accidental properties of a thing.<br /> <br /> ===Nine kinds of accidents according to Aristotle===<br /> # Quantity<br /> # Quality<br /> # Relation<br /> # Habitus<br /> # Τime<br /> # Location<br /> # Situation (or position)<br /> # Action<br /> # Passion (&quot;being acted on&quot;). <br /> <br /> Together with &quot;substance&quot;, these nine kinds of accidents constitute the ten fundamental categories of Aristotle&#039;s ontology.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Concepts]]</div>
