Description
This book explores a fundamental tension in Aristotle's metaphysics: how can an entity such as a living organism--a composite generated through the imposition of form on preexisting matter--have the conceptual unity that Aristotle demands of primary substances Mary Louise Gill bases her treatment of the problem of unity, and of Aristotle's solution, on a fresh interpretation of the relation between matter and form.
