这项工作捍卫了具体的特定对象(例如,活的有机体)。阿斯特丽德的质形学说认为,那些属于它的实体是物质(质形)和形式(形态或意识)的复合物。作者认为,一个具体的特定对象的质态分析是装备精良,以竞争与替代方法时,衡量范围广泛的成功标准。然而,要将形质论成功地应用于具体的特定对象的特殊情况,则取决于形质论者如何设想构成具体的特定对象的物质、它的形式,以及在物质形式的化合物、它的物质和它的形式之间保持的形质关系。通过对这些问题的详细回答,作者在本书中发展了物质形式的化合物,尽管它们具有形而上学的复杂性,但由于它们的高度统一性,它们占据了传统上与物质相关的特权本体论地位。
This work defends a hylomorphic analysis of concrete particular objects (e.g., living organisms). The Aristotelian doctrine of hylomorphism holds that those entities that fall under it are compounds of matter (hulē) and form (morphē or eidos). The author 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. A successful application of the doctrine of hylomorphism to the special case of concrete particular objects, however, 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. Through the detailed answers to these questions the author develops in this book, matter–form compounds, despite their metaphysical complexity, emerge as occupying the privileged ontological status traditionally associated with substances, due in particular to their high degree of unity.
