Adriel M. Trott argues for an interdependent relationship of form and matter in Aristotle's metaphysics. Responding to feminist critiques from Judith Butler and Luce Irigary, she 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.
This book offers a fresh reading of Aristotle's Politics by employing a definition of nature many commentators have rejected: the internal source of movement. It uses Aristotle's definition of nature as an internal source of movement to argue that he viewed community as something that arises from the activity that forms it rather than being a form imposed on individuals.
