Exploring Aristotle's Homonymy of the Body: Towards a “Physical” Approach to Addressing Hylomorphism Challenges in Psychology
The topic of my project is the contrast between the hylomorphic explanation of living beings and the thesis of the homonymy of the body in Aristotle's An. II 1. This tension arises from the contingent specification requirement of matter (hylomorphism) and the necessity for the body of a living being to be informed by the soul (homonymy of the body). My aim is to demonstrate that there may be an underlying material level that is contingently informed. Through a detailed analysis of the processes involved in the formation of the levels of material composition of living beings, I will show that the homoiomerous parts of a living being's body are contingently informed by the soul, as required by the hylomorphic doctrine.
