OverviewAdriel M. Trott challenges the wholesale acceptance of the view that nature operates in Aristotle's work on a craft model, which implies that matter has no power of its own. Instead, she argues for a robust sense of matter in Aristotle in response to feminist critiques. She finds resources for thinking the female's contribution and the female on its own terms and not as the contrary to form, or the male. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Adriel M.

Trott develops a careful, thorough and provocative re-reading of Aristotle that acknowledges his complex legacy for contemporary feminist philosophy. Trott convincingly shows how his conception of form and matter is bound up with and remains surreptitiously connected to the binarization of male and female, even as it remains misunderstood.-- ""Elizabeth Grosz, Duke University"" Adriel M. Trott's book skillfully and exhaustively places Aristotle's theory of animal generation and his account of inherited characteristics in its literary and philosophical context to develop an enmattered account of form and an active account of matter that challenges the artifactual interpretation of hylomorphism and, with it, the grounds for many feminist criticisms of Aristotle's metaphysics as gendered and sexist-- ""Charlotte Witt, University of New Hampshire""" Adriel M.
