Aristotle on Matter, Form, and Moving Causes

Produktbeschreibung

Articulates, develops, and significantly revises the traditional interpretation of Aristotle's theory of generation, thereby improving our understanding of how the doctrine of form and matter - hylomorphism - informs his understanding of how new substances come into being. It will be of interest to scholars of ancient philosophy and the history of biology.
