ON THE HYLOMORPHIC HYPOTHESIS ABOUT THE PERSISTENCE OF OBJECTS IN METAPHYSICS

Abstract

The present work aims to propose an analysis of the problem of identity and persistence of physical objects based on hylomorphic doctrine, that is to say, based on the doctrine according to which the physical objects are mereological compositions of the elements named form and matter. After introducing a discussion on the problem of the identity and persistence of physical objects, we propose a brief hypothetical formulation of hylomorphism on the identity and persistence of objects in metaphysics.
