Summary

The metaphysics of artefacts is increasingly gaining the attention of contemporary metaphysicians, particularly among supporters of hylomorphism, who all refer to or draw on Aristotle. However, there is no consensus about the place of artefacts in Aristotle’s ontology. Not only that, but there is no consensus as to whether Aristotle even has a single coherent account of artefacts in the first place. This book has shown that Aristotle does present a coherent and detailed account of artefacts. I shall now summarise the conclusions that have been reached in a manner that is sensitive to currently discussed issues, so as to provide a guide for the contemporary (Neo)-Aristotelian debate.
