Aristotle
- Theory
- Four Causes
- MATERIAL: What something is
made of.
- EFFICIENT: How something
is made.
- FINAL: The TELOS of
something; what it is made for.
- FORMAL: The characteristics
of or design for something.
- MATERIAL: What something is
made of.

- The only
thing with
no form
- Pure
substance
- The end to
which all
things are
moving or
aspiring to.
- Like God

- The only
thing with
no form
- Four Causes
- Criticisms
- NO FINAL CAUSE:
The forces of
nature are 'blind',
chaotic and
ultimately
purposeless.
- NO SOUL: Do we
need an actualizing
force like the soul or is
potential life and growth
in humans is controlled
by genetic makeup.
- UNCERTAINTY:
Aristotle's efficient
cause may not apply on
a sub-atomic level,
where matter behaves
differently and
unpredictably.
- NO FINAL CAUSE:
The forces of
nature are 'blind',
chaotic and
ultimately
purposeless.
