9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 2. Hylomorphism / a. Hylomorphism

24066	The form explains kind, structure, unity and activity [Koslicki]
	Full Idea: Hylomorphists tend to agree that the form (rather than matter) explains 1) kind membership, 2) structure, 3) unity, 4) characteristic activities.
	From: Kathrin Koslicki (Form, Matter and Substance [2018], 3.2.1)
	A reaction: [compressed; she explains each of them] Personally I would add continuity through change (statue/clay). Glad to see that kind membership is not part of the form. And what about explaining observed properties? Does form=essence?
