Abstract

Hylomorphism, the understanding of objects in terms of their matter and their form, was introduced by Aristotle and has been a major influence on Western philosophy to this day. Sixteen specially written essays explore hylomorphism in the thought of Hellenistic, Roman, Arabic, medieval, and early modern philosophers.
