Descriere

Jeffrey E. Brower explores the hylomorphic conception of the material world developed by Thomas Aquinas, according to which objects comprise both matter (hyle) and form (morphe). He provides a wholesale alternative to standard accounts of material objects, and highlights the relevance of Aquinas's views to contemporary metaphysical debates.
