The concept of form and its derivations belong to the most important concepts of Antiquity and Middle Ages. Modern formal approaches in logic, semantics etc. depend on this problematics, rarely exposing it to scientific scrutiny. The article deals with a way medieval discussions on form and essence are reflected in contemporary approaches to formalisation, resulting in the confrontation between substantialist and constructivist paradigms.
