Late Medieval Hylomorphism: matter and form, 1300–1600
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
Later medieval philosophers would claim that all bodies are compounds of matter and form. Yet, among themselves, their ways of conceiving of the two components tended to differ substantively. The conference “Late Medieval Hylomorphism” aims at disentangling the specificities of a long-lasting debate on hylomorphism, the scope and originality of which is still unknown. What were the main disputes concerning hylomorphism in the period? What were the main positions? Who were the interesting thinkers defending unusual points of view? These questions unfold at different levels of the ontological examination of substances. Our conference aims to bring together scholars working on hylomorphism especially between the early fourteenth and the early seventeenth century. We encourage submissions on any aspect of hylomorphism in the period.
Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- the potency of prime matter
- super- and sublunary matter
- spiritual/universal hylomorphism
- the unity or multiplicity of substantial forms
- intension and remission of substantial forms
- matter, form, and quantity
