On the Metaphysics of Forms
Abstract
This article is devoted to an attempt to synthesize all metaphysical concepts regarding category «form», stated in history of philosophy. As a result, a hypothesis of a common substance for all the forms, which is denoted with a term «formalia», is offered. Few postulates of the formalia theory are shown and in this aspect one of the current trends in the western philosophy - calculus of forms - is analyzed. It is shown that the calculus of forms is rooted in Kantian philosophy and the basic term «Eigenform» reflects substantially recursive patterns of an intellectual subject.
