The History of Hylomorphism
"Aristotle hylomorphic account of objects in terms of their matter and their form has exercised a major influence on western philosophy. This collection of essays considers aspects of the first two thousand years of the history of hylomorphism, starting with Aristotle's immediate successors and ending with Descartes. Throughout that period, Aristotle's own views were discussed in great detail, fully tested and modified. Some philosophers saw serious difficulties or major gaps in his theory. Others developed their own accounts, or reformulated his, in an attempt to address them. In this collection, there are individual essays by specialists on some of these philosophers, including Epicurus, certain Stoic writers, Alexander, Galen, Plotinus, Philoponus, Avicenna, Averroes, Aquinas and Suarez. Taken as a whole, the collection addresses the question 'to what extent was Aristotle's own theory transformed during this period?' In providing the resources for an overview of these developments, it also points to factors that produced some of our current ideas, preoccupations and problems, such as the mind-body problem as formulated by Descartes" -- Contracubierta.
