This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on Aristotle's work, the Metaphysics and examines his discussion in book 1 of his predecessors' metaphysical accounts that go beyond simply using a material cause, and that bring in an efficient cause in order to explain how motion and change are produced. He discusses in particular Hesiod, Empedocles, and Anaxagoras. He also criticizes them for not noting the importance of the final cause.
