This is very similar to how R YY Weinberg describes TiDE in his essay in
Harav Shimshon Rephael Hirsch: Mishnaso veShitaso:
    The Torah, according to Rav Hirsch, is the force that gives
    form. Form, to Aristotle's thought, means a thing's essential nature
    in distinction to the substance from which it is embodied. Derech
    Eretz is merely the matter on which Torah works.

I see either the same essay or a similar one appeared in Dei'os vol 9 (1959)
and is available at
