Pure Form: God and Logic?

Karel Šebela
Filozofická fakulta Univerzity Palackého v Olomouci

The article deals with the similarity between so-called hylomorphism of logic and the conception of God as pure Form. Formality of logic is frequently taken as a key feature of logic, so I follow the conceptions of logic by Plato, Aristotle, peripatetic and neo-platonistic commentators of Aristotle and early scholastics, until Abaelard.
