Aristotle
- Disagreed with his teacher - Plato. Said there
aren't 2 separate realms.
- The world we live in is the place where we can have
true knowledge.
- We come to understand things through
sense experience.
- He rejected Plato's Theory of the Forms and said
the world is made of matter.
- The Four
Causes
- 1. Material Cause: what something's
made of, the matter/substance it's made
of e.g. a book is made from paper
- 2. Formal Cause: what its characteristics are,
what gives the matter its form or structure.
- 3. Efficient Cause: its reason for
existing, how itcomes to exist, the
creator of it.
- 4. Final Cause: its use, the reason
it is the way it is, its function.
- Example - a statue: 1. marble 2.
shape of a statue 3. a mason made
it 4. to honour or remember
someone
- 1. Material Cause: what something's
made of, the matter/substance it's made
of e.g. a book is made from paper
- Potentiality +
Actuality
- Potentiality = matter has the potential to acquire its final form/telos
- Everything has a purpose/telos
- Potentiality is
actualised by motion
- Example: a tadpole has the potentiality to
become a frog. The process of change
(motion) from tadpole to frog is 'actualisation'.
The telos of a tadpole is to become a frog.
- Telos can be frustrated e.g. a
tadpole could be eaten by a heron
- Potentiality = matter has the potential to acquire its final form/telos
