Aristotle
Who was he?
Pupil of Plato
His thoughts on metaphysics
The Four Cases
Interested in why things exist the way that they do
He thought that there were four causes for why things exist the way they do
1. Material Cause: the matter or substance that something is made from
2. Efficient Cause: The agent that caused the thing to exist.
What caused it? How was it made?
3. Formal Cause: the plan behind it. What makes it recognisable, structure, form and shape.
4. Final Cause: The ultimate reason why it exists. It's purpose
Physical Objects
Constant state of 'Motus'
Observed 4 things:
1. The physical world is in a constant state of motion and change
2.The planets seem to be moving eternally
3. Change or motion is always caused by something
4. Objects in the physical world were in a state of actuality and potentiality
Things exist in an actual state but have the potential to become another state
The Prime Mover
The originating cause for all motion eternally
Sustains all change from potentiality to actuality
Kitten to a Cat
Characteristics
Exists by necessity - it cannot fail to exist
Is unchanging, it is pure actuality by nature so it's nature is good
The Prime Mover is the Final Cause - the ultimate reason why things exist
The ultimate reason and final goal of movement
God
Aristotle rejects the idea that God thinks about the universe and what happens in it
That would be God changing
God only reflects on being God
