 The arguments for these claims are varied, but in each case show great sensitivity to matters of systematicity and unity. To explicate the first, by way of illustration, Suárez appeals to the simple thought that there are privileged unities in our world. He thinks it plain—and does not dally to offer an argument—that, for instance, Socrates is a unified being, who exists in a specific place and time, that he is a human being who eats, sleeps, grows, diminishes and dies. By contrast, the mereological sum of Socrates, the Pinturricchio frescoes in the Bufalini Chapel in Rome, and a volume of water equal to one pint in somewhere in the Indian Ocean is no such unity. There is, of course, a mereological sum of these three diverse items; but this sum does not exhibit the form of unity we observe in Socrates. By the same token, Socrates is himself a mereological sum of various atoms. Suárez takes it for granted that he is also a mind- and language-independent privileged unity. If he is right, then this further fact is either primitive or explicable. Suárez thinks it explicable rather than primitive and tenders the existence of substantial forms—in this case the form of being a human being—as the appropriate explanatory posit.
