- Double-weighted statement
- Form without Matter is a 234-page book that consists of nine chapters. The book presents Aristotle's account of perception in terms of puzzle first raised by Empedocles. On this basis, it develops a novel interpretation of Aristotle. The book, however, is not merely a work in historiography but makes contributions to the philosophy of perception as well. These are further developed in its sequel Sympathy in Perception. The book has been the subject of two international workshops, reviewed nine times, been the subject of two critical studies, and has been the topic of at least three PhD dissertations.
