Resumen
LAWRENCE DEWAN, O.P. St. Thomas and the hilemorfic ontology. Civilizar [online]. 2009, vol.9, n.16, pp.153-166. ISSN 1657-8953.
This article presents the relevancy of Aristotle's hylemorphic ontology. Aristotle himself highlighted the importance and astonishing complexity of the problem of prime matter's ontological status and he presenting the solution in his doctrine of hylemorphism. As Saint Thomas Aquinas noted, it is a crucial issue for philosophy because all four, hilemorfism, logic, physics and metaphysics, stand or fall depending on a correct understanding of the ontology of prime matter and of the kind of causal relationship which exist between prime matter and substantial form in generable and corruptible substance.
Palabras clave : Prime matter; substantial form; hylemorphism; causality of matter; Aristotle; Saint Thomas Aquinas.
