It includes discussions of Hellenistic, Roman, Arabic, medieval, and early modern philosophers, examining the ways in which Aristotle's central ideas and concepts were progressively modified by these thinkers. Hylomorphism, as we understand it today, owes much to the way in which it was interpreted, and re-interpreted, during this period. Through a study of their work we can see how questions in contemporary metaphysics and philosophy of mind, such as Descartes's mind-body problem, came to be formulated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Charles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0192897667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192897664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.50w x 1.80d","brand":"David Charles","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44540727492863,"sku":"9780192897664","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0653b421-7afa-445d-86db-0be60d9597e4.jpg?v=1700589529","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-history-of-hylomorphism-david-charles-9780192897664","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
