Hylomorphism in Aristotle's Physics (2010)

unapi

My topic is hylomorphism, by which I mean the doctrine that 'things due to nature' (r& (pion Ovia) are a kind of composite of matter and form. I first pre-sent and criticize a certain interpretation of this doctrine and then try to sketch an alternative. I limit myself to the Physics, concentrating especially on books I and 2. I say nothing about how the doctrine figures in other important texts such as the De anima or Metaphysics.
