Aristotle's Theory of Causality

This paper examines Aristotle's theory of causality, which is pivotal to understanding his philosophical framework. It identifies and elaborates on the four types of causes—material, formal, efficient, and final—proposed by Aristotle in both historical and modern contexts. By analyzing the evolution of these concepts, the study highlights causation and existence. Ultimately, this exploration offers insights into Aristotle's contributions to philosophy and their implications for contemporary thought, providing a foundation for further inquiry into the nature of causality.
