0:00.0	Welcome to the Tumistic Institute podcast.
0:07.0	Our mission is to promote the Catholic intellectual tradition in the university, the church, and the wider public square.
0:14.0	The lectures on this podcast are organized by university students at Tumistic Institute chapters around the world.
0:20.0	To learn more and to attend these events, visit us at Thomisticinstitute.org.
0:25.6	I'm really glad to be able to give you this presentation, which is going to be somewhat longish.
0:40.3	So in the interest of time, I would rather just read the text,
0:46.3	scrolling it on the screen, so you can read it along with me,

2:21.3	Okay?
2:22.3	Recently, there are more and more authors in the current literature on the philosophy of mind
2:31.3	who hail Aristotelian hyalmomorphism as promising a viable passage between the
