| Summary: | Two tasks are pursued here. One is to display the difference (and its significance) between hermeneutic commitments in commenting on Aristotle's difficult metaphysical texts. The other is to begin rethinking an Aristotelian account of medical healing by considering in detail the connection between matter and the form of health in Metaphysics VII. This is carried out through the examination of two puzzles: one about the relation of parts to causes, the other about the relation of matter to articulation (logos). |
