Description
This volume explores the concept of formal causation in contemporary metaphysics and philosophy of science from an Aristotelian perspective. It delves into the historical development of this idea and its relevance to modern debates about causation, explanation, laws of nature, functions, essence, modality, and metaphysical grounding.
Comprising four distinct approaches to formal causation, including scholastic and contemporary perspectives, as well as explorations of notions of dependence, this collection offers a comprehensive examination of the subject. Advanced graduate students and researchers working in these fields will find this volume an invaluable resource.
Contributions from leading scholars in the field provide a rich and nuanced exploration of formal causation, shedding new light on its significance for our understanding of the world.
