Contemporary Hylomorphism

APEIRON: a journal for ancient philosophy and science

Hylomorphism: a Critical Analysis

Acta Analytica, 2019
In this essay, I examine those versions of hylomorphism that attribute to form a very strong explicative role. According to them, form is both the source of new emergent powers and expression of the finalist structure of organisms. The main aim of this essay is to show that these two aspects do not holdup because the form only exercises a structural ...

Hylomorphic Offices

Ancient Philosophy Today, 2019
Neo-Aristotelian hylomorphism has struggled to arrive at anything approaching a consensus regarding the notion of form. Contending that no ‘right-minded modern’ could embrace anything akin to Aristotle's own preferred conception of a form as a causally efficacious entity capable of unifying material elements into a substantial whole, Fine (1994), for ...
