Ep. 335: Aristotle on Fundamental Explanations (Part Two)
The Partially Examined Life Philosophy PodcastContinuing on Aristotle's Metaphysics, book 1. We get seriously into Aristotle's four types of causation and how previous philosophers in leaving out one or most of these made a mistake. This includes a critique of Platonic forms, which as eternal, unchanging patterns can't actually explain why change occurs in the world. Get more at partiallyexaminedlife.com.
