Aristotle on Matter, Form, and Moving Causes. The Hylomorphic Theory of Substantial Generation, Hardback/***

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.
