This chapter begins by canvassing such theories and defending a particular position on each of these disputed topics. It then proposes a way to think about the exercise of (indeterministic) free will within the preferred framework. A number of contemporary metaphysicians are engaged in the project of working out a pared-down, broadly neo-Aristotelian account of the natural world that provides a plausible framework for modern science. 1 Much as one seems to find differences in detail within a consistent broad vision at different locations in Aristotle's corpus, so contemporary theorists have forged different footpaths through the neo-Aristotelian grove. Two important, contested categories in the recent discussion are substance/object and efficient causation . In what follows, I have two aims. The first aim is to indicate very general analyses of these categories that I favor and to situate and motivate them within this recent discussion. These partial analyses leave open many difficult 1 'Pared-down' because they do not deploy Aristotle's central doctrine of hylomorphism. There is a smaller but growing number of contemporary theorists who argue that jettisoning hylomorphism was a mistake, including thee contributors (Hauser, Koons, and Simpson) to this volume. See note 4 for brief discussion of hylomorphism's relation to the alternative analysis of objects proposed here.","PeriodicalId":403108,"journal":{"name":"Neo-Aristotelian Metaphysics and the Theology of Nature","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124362270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two Rival Versions of Thomistic Hylomorphism: Corruptionism and Survivalism It is evident to each of us that he or she engages in a variety of mental activities. It is also evident to each of us that he or she presently has a body. But what is this entity which thinks, senses, remembers, etc. and presently has a body? Put more simply, what are we? What are human persons? Philosophers both past and present have proposed a variety of different answers to this question. Of the theories defended in our contemporary context, several, including Thomistic Hylomorphism, Animalism, Constitutionalism, and Emergent Individualism, can claim to be “neo-Aristotelian” in one respect or another. This chapter will focus on just one of these contemporary neo-Aristotelian theories: Thomistic Hylomorphism, a theory inspired by Thomas Aquinas’s hylomorphic account of what we are, which in turn was inspired by Aristotle’s hylomorphic account of what we are. Like other hylomorphists, Thomistic Hylomorphists maintain that human persons are enduring individuals “composed of” or “constituted from” (in a to be specified sense of the term) matter (hylē) and a certain kind of substantial form (morphē). Thomistic Hylomorphists add that human persons differ from other material substances in that human persons have substantial forms which can exist without informing a body. Adopting the Aristotelian use of the term “soul,” Thomistic Hylomorphists call the substantial forms of living things “souls” and the substantial forms of human persons “intellective (or rational or human) souls.” For the purposes of this chapter, we can define Thomistic Hylomorphism as the conjunction of the following four theses:","PeriodicalId":403108,"journal":{"name":"Neo-Aristotelian Metaphysics and the Theology of Nature","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129517110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
