This book examines Aristotle's four causes (material, formal,
efficient, and final), offering a systematic discussion of the
relation between form and matter, causation, taxonomy, and
teleology. The overall aim is to show that the four causes form a
system, so that the form of a natural thing relates to its matter
as the final cause of a natural process relates to its efficient
cause. Aristotle's Four Causes reaches two novel and distinctive
conclusions. The first is that the formal cause or essence of a
natural thing is not a property of this thing but a generic natural
thing. The second is that the final cause of a process is not its
purpose but the course that processes of its kind typically take.
