In Form, Matter, Substance, Kathrin Koslicki develops a
contemporary defense of the Aristotelian doctrine of hylomorphism.
According to this approach, objects are compounds of matter (hule)
and form (morphe or eidos) and a living organism is not exhausted
by the body, cells, organs, tissue and the like that compose it.
Koslicki argues that a hylomorphic analysis of concrete particular
objects is well equipped to compete with alternative approaches
when measured against a wide range of criteria of success. However,
a plausible application of the doctrine of hylomorphism to the
special case of concrete particular objects hinges on how
hylomorphists conceive of the matter composing a concrete
particular object, its form, and the hylomorphic relations which
hold between a matter-form compound, its matter and its form.
Koslicki offers detailed answers these questions surrounding a
hylomorphic approach to the metaphysics of concrete particular
objects. As a result, matter-form compounds emerge as occupying the
privileged ontological status traditionally associated with
substances due to their high degree of unity.
