I guess I'm not yet understanding the objections to hylomorphism. It just says that every material object has both form (morph) and matter (hyle). It doesn't specify how the matter comes to take on the form, which can happen in different ways.
The classic example is the clay and the jar. Clay (hyle) can take many forms, and in a given case it may be a jar (morph). But obviously this requires an easily understandable Efficient Cause -- the potter.
Maybe I'm missing an argument against this...?
