Summary:

Kathrin Koslicki presents a contemporary defence of the Aristotelian doctrine of hylomorphism, according to which there is more to an object than its material parts. She argues that in addition, each object also contains an organisational principle, a form, which accounts for its structure, identity, and unity.
