Abstract

This session, sponsored by the International Albertus Magnus Society, seeks to investigate various aspects of Albertus's understanding of matter in the broad context of his natural philosophy, including matter and the generation of forms, matter vis-a-vis the universal and the particular, and the role of matter in change and mutation.
