Essays on Aristotle's Hylomorphism

Beschreibung

In Body and Soul: Essays on Aristotle's Hylomorphism, well-known scholar Jennifer Whiting gathers two sets of her previously published essays on Aristotle's hylomorphism, one focused on his conception of an animal's body as standing to its soul as matter (hulê) to form (morphê); the other focused on his conception of practical reason as standing to human desire as form to matter.
