The Double Lives of Objects: An Essay in the Metaphysics of the Ordinary World
Oxford, GB: Oxford University Press (2015)
Abstract
Thomas Sattig develops a novel philosophical picture of ordinary objects such as persons, tables, and trees. He carves a middle way between classical mereology and Aristotelian hylomorphism, and argues that objects lead double lives. They are compounds of matter and form, and each object's matter and form have different qualitative profiles.Author's Profile
