Aristotle

Archeological remains of Lyceum

Aristotle’s Four Causes Material cause: the matter our of which it is made. E.g., the material cause of a house is bricks, wood, steel etc. (Rain: water) The materialists were exclusively concerned with this cause. Efficient cause: who made it? the agency behind an object. The efficient cause of a house is the builder, the bricklayer. (Rain: the cooling of the moisture/condensation. (Empedocles and Anaxagoras) Formal cause: the structure or design, the form. e.g., the formal cause of a house is the architecture (rain: the form or the nature of water is to fall down) Pythagoreans and Plato only with Formal The final cause: what goal, end or purpose does it serve? The final cause – the purpose -- of a house is to provide shelter. (rain: so that plants can grow; whereas we will say that plants grow because they find moisture, )

Teleology A teleological explanation is that which answers the question WHY It is an explanation given in terms of a goal, a purpose or a function to be fulfilled.
